MC # Of conductors

[mstrlucky74]

Only asking because someone listed 4/C MC cable and I know it should be 3/C. have a 30A 2P disconnect feeding a load. IT should be 3/C mc and not 4/c, correct?

4 conductor is red white blue green basically 12/3 with a ground

Maybe. Probably. But without knowing the specifics of the load, who is the "someone" we are trying to second guess? What is the load and application? Is it possible there is something else that we don't know?

4/C might also be two hots and two neutrals.

That would be 2-2, as in 12-2-2

Unless the load requires the neutral, 2/C would suffice. If so, I agree with you.

What happened to black?

Only cords include the green in conductor count.

It would also be 4 conductors, and we didn't get a conventional label, or much details at all, in the OP.
