mc or nm cable

[sksad1]

whitch wire in mc ,mn or other cables when fished down for a switch is the hot,bk or white

MC, NMB........Black is hot , and white is a grounded conductor......I should not even answer this post :roll:

Triphase I disagree, when MC is fished to a switch the white is the hot ( non switched conductor ) but it must be identified as a hot conductor ( tape or a marker ). The black will then feed the device ( fixture ). The only reason I say this is because that's the way we have always done it and I see no reason to change.[/b]

 

[jwelectric]

200.7(C)(2) Where a cable assembly contains an insulated conductor for single-pole, 3-way or 4-way switch loops and the conductor with white or gray insulation or a marking of three continuous white stripes is used for the supply to the switch but not as a return conductor from the switch to the switched outlet. In these applications, the conductor with white or gray insulation or with three continuous white stripes shall be permanently reidentified to indicate its use by painting or other effective means at its terminations and at each location where the conductor is visible and accessible.

Triphase I figure that's what happened. I was even to lazy to look up the correct code.
