200.4(B) Exception 1 identifying of conductors

[PaulEd]

200.4(B) Exc 1
(B) Multiple Circuits. Where more than one neutral conductor associated with different circuits is in an enclosure, grounded circuit conductors of each circuit shall be identified or grouped to correspond with the ungrounded circuit conductor (s) by wire markers, cable ties, or similar means in at least one location within the enclosure.
Exception No. 1: The requirement for grouping or identifing shall not apply if the branch circuit or feeder conductors enter from a cable or a raceway unique to the circuit that makes the grouping obvious.

So if I have a 1”’emt conduit with 3 ungrounded conductors and 3 grounded conductors AND I label this with numbers near the breakers and on the neutral bar making where these conductors come “obvious” I would not need to employ tie wraps grouping the conductors.
Is this a fair statement?

You can go to NFPA website and choose "NEXT ADDITION".

OR maybe you can just tell me lol

You are correct.

Still a good idea to tie wrap them. Markers fade out and come off over time. I've seen a lot of headaches from mixing up neutrals. One of the few times I really fought with a boss was over this issue.

I like taping them in 2 spots a couple times. I'm not a fan of zipties for as much as some use them.

He's stuck on posting PDF's, it would help everyone if he would just post the written text.

I think, I am starting to get the message !

Will you let this die when you retire or will you keep submitting this idea forever?

I'll just say!
Thank you.
