Does the stripe on urd really make it a grounded conductor

[AC\DC]

Previous electrician ran urd with egc I want to make it three phase and put Transformer here.
I always feed tape these white so never thought about it.
Seems this strip does not constitute a grounded conductor since it’s not white,grey or three strips

It may be identified for convenience, but No, I would not trust it as such. We always marked it as grounded if that were the case, or a typical color scheme if not.

Typical urd we get around here will have a yellow strip for the grounded conductor (neutral). The other 2 will have no markings although have gotten a couple of time one with a red strip. No real consistency. Now if you have MHF, it will have the yellow strip with a solid green colored conductor added for 4 wires. I wouldn't attempt to "re-phase" the yellow stripe.

There is no provision in the code that permits a single strip of any color to be used as the required identification of a grounded conductor. If stripes are used there must be 3 of them and they must be white or gray.

I think that the yellow stripe is just there to differentiate it from the other conductors. A turn of white tape makes it code compliant.

Thank you

If it's 4awg or larger then taping to identify is no problem.

I guess I forgot or never realized that if stripes were used, 3 are required. I don't recall ever doing any further identification on the yellow striped conductor of URD. Oh my gosh, people must be dying left and right from 22 years of my installs .

IDK if it was always that way so you may have a few survivors.
