List of conductors you can and can't phase?

[ThreeSparkysInATrenchCoat]

Afternoon,

Wanting to create a list of conductors that you can and can not phase. Wanting to keep it simple.

Conductors that you can phase:

-Grounded conductors in a cable assembly (10/3 Romex, neutral phased as an ungrounded conductor.
-Ungrounded conductors of any kind
-Conductors 4 AWG and larger

Conductors you can not phase:

-Conductors 6 AWG and smaller
-Grounded condcutors
-???

Thank you!

Welcome to the forum.

Do you by any chance mean re-coloring wires?

Can not reidentity 6 or smaller with white or green

 

[tom baker]

A white or green wire can not be reidentified

 

[tom baker]

And when you have all the rules add the code section

Can not reidentity 6 or smaller with white or green

10 AWG or smaller makes sense to me but IMHO with 6 & 8 AWG it should be allowed to reindentify them.
