The markings on the wiring is not legible. It could pass for a #6 or and #8. However, I took a part the panel and measured the thickness. I'm pretty sure it's #6 THWN. On a spectate note, I added in a second timer to run my SWG. I'll be sharing that project on a future post.

JZA1736, thank you for the response. You bring up a great point on the #8 THWN. It was a detail i glossed over since i didn't touch the 60A main circuit breaker feed into the subpanel nor the wiring. I went back and remeasured the thickness and it looks more like #6 THWN, which is rated at 65...

I didn't receive any comments, but I wanted to share that I completed the Intermatic timer control panel replacement! A1: Circuit Breakers configurations - 60 Amp feed from Main power panel (8 AWG). This control panel is broken up into 2 buses - Phase A and Phase B. I decided to reorder my...
