Identifying a grounded conductor

[inspector 102]

What iis the smallest size wire that can be re-identified as a grounded conductor? 200.6 (2008 Ed.) seems to indicate that larger than #6 can be marked with white tape at the terminations, however smaller can only be accomplished with a white or gray wire. Is is allowed to mark a #12 thhn in conduit as a grounded conducter using white tape at each connection point?

No, #6 or smaller cannot be reidentified. #4 is the smallest wire to identify as white at the terminations.

I just love it when people answer their own questions.

The problem is when I answer my own questions, I always think I am wrong. At least that is what my wife tells me. Thanks for the conformation of the section.

In a raceway just as Dennis said, in a cable you can remark any size white.

I know I am reading what you just wrote out of context of the OP question. You are referring to remarking a white wire in a cable as hot,correct?
