Phase Identification

[LYLE2231]

I've looked in Art 215. A question put to me was "Is there anywhere in the code that dictates the ID of phases for feeds & sub-feeds?" The only place I can remember putting colored tape on phase conductors was from the spec's on a job. Comments requested. Best, Lyle

Required if the premises has more than one voltage system per 210.5

215.12(C), 210.5(C), 517.160(A) (5).

215 and 210 require identification of the conductors by system and phase (08)

BUT they do not require color coding !!!!

517,160 ,110.15, and 230.56 do

120/208v and 277/480v should be required to be color coded, the code should not be silent on this.

120/208v and 277/480v should be required to be color coded, the code should not be silent on this.

Make a code proposal.

I have identified motor circuit conductors with T1,T2, and T3 before with wire markers and used all black wires. The conductors were identifed at all boxes and terminations.
