2 or 3 wire

[Tcouillard]

When wiring for an AC disconnect can you run 2 wire and use the white as the hot or do I have to run 3 wire and use the black and red as hot.

Thanks!

Yes you can use 12/2, just tape the ends of the white wire to show that it is used as a hot

Disconnect for an AC unit

Does the AC Unit require a neutral conductor?
