When I pulled the 50A plug out of the cord compartment, I THOUGHT all 4 wires were the same size...#10. Do I mis-remember what I saw?

Reason I ask is that should not the neutral be large enough to carry 50Amps while each hot leg can be #10 for 25Amps?

It would be OK if the two hot legs were out of phase but I didn't think they were???

Can someone school me on this. I may need to run a larger neutral from my automatic transfer switch.
