[RE-wrenches] Meter base minimum conductor size

Wrenches,

We often use a conventional 100A meter base and analog meter as an
independent metering system for inverter output.  These meters
typically have a minimum conductor size of #6 AWG.  For smaller
systems the inverter output conductors are smaller than #6 AWG.  We
have upsized the conductors to match the meter base requirement, but
this adds expense.  I am looking for other suggestions for resolving
this.
