Code section 250.118 Types of Equipment Grounding Conductors list MC as #10 on the list along with EMT, Rigid, Flexible metallic, etc... Just as an informational topic because I did run MC and all conductors are insulated in theory would I be code compliant if the equipment grounding conductor was re-identified with white tape and used as the nuetral conductor? This is merely a hypothetical question and i'm not going to embarass myself any further by asking AHJ if this will fly.
All MC cable is not listed for grounding. The run of the mill type with the aluminum sheath is not. ie":MC Lite by Southwire. It does not have the metal tape in it like AC cable does.
