Hint: Think about what you'd do if it was a 12/2 to a single switch.I know the answer to this I am sure, but I am having a senior moment. If I am using a 12/3 w/ground MC cable for a 2 gang switch. How does the makeup go? Black=hot to switch, red=switch A, white is switch B? maybe...?

MMM what is a 2 gang switch i wonder
He's talking about a switch loop, or rather, a pair of switch loops using a single 3-conductor cable.Not enough information.

One feed, two legs, no neutral, only cable to box.
..........200(c)(2) seems to say i would use the white as a hot to the switch (have to identify it at each end) and the red and the blacks for the switch legs.
What I mean is a box with two single pole switches. switch a-switches 1 set of lights, switch b-switches a 2nd set of lights. I want to feed/return the switches with a 12/3. so i would have one black, one red, and one white in the switch box. which wire would i use for a hot and which for the switch legs? 200(c)(2) seems to say i would use the white as a hot to the switch (have to identify it at each end) and the red and the blacks for the switch legs.
Well, we know you know. :roll: We were trying to get the OP to look ikt up for himself.Mark the white as an ungrounded at both ends [200.7(C)(2)]. Pigtail it to both switches. Red & black are the return switch loops.
Correctamundo. I prefer using blue when recoloring white, just to avoid two blacks (or reds).. . . i would use the white as a hot to the switch (have to identify it at each end) and the red and the blacks for the switch legs.
very common for a paddle fan, we call them a dead end switch's, hot fed down a remarked white the red back to light and black back to fan motor.
I've heard of them called Suicides
