I am currently studying through Mike Holt's Ultimate training library. I am currently going through Article 200 in the Understanding the NEC books. In the book(Volume1 pg 70&71) and video, reference is made to marking the white conductor a different color if not used as the neutral conductor in switch boxes. It is also stated that the white wire can be used as travelers. I fully understand that this is how many electricians perform the task of bringing power into switch boxes and running 3 way switches. Our company is currently transitioning away from this practice and I understand the difficulty of some in this regards. I also understand that there are instances where the white wire is not the neutral and must be marked, but the direct reference in the video and literature is to switch boxes.
404.2(C) states that there must be a neutral conductor in switch boxes. The examples from the book and video would seem to be in direct violation of the code. I was just wondering if I am not considering something properly in regards to the examples and their violation to the above stated code??
