Use pliers to twist and tighten the stranded wire onto the solid and then
twist your wire connectors onto the splice.

I have to make some connections inside an electrical box between #10
solid
and stranded #12.
I tried wirenuts, but it doesn't seem particularly secure.
I have only used crimp connectors on standed; can they be used on solid?
If not, then what? Thanks.

why are are we connecting #10 & #12 conductors?

which wire is upstream? & what is capacity of the circuit breaker?

I am hardwiring a transfer switch. The cable from the generator is solid
10, and the internal wiring on the switch is standed 12.
