Working in a large box store rewiring 2x4 fluorescent lighting in a drop ceiling which was all run in mc cable I came across a question. All this lighting was 277 volts but the mc cable used only had low voltage colors (blk, red, white, green). I searched the entire ceiling to see if the mc had marking tape anywhere to identify this lighting as 277 but could find none marked. I know in the past I have used the proper mc to identify the voltage or I had marked every single cable at every light with the proper color (brown, orange, yellow). Can somebody out here give me their thoughts and the code section identifying this? I looked and could not find it in the book. This is potentially a extremely dangerous situaton I came across, is it legal or not what they did?
