Yeah, it's Friday, apologies. Maybe a mod can fix that for me so I don't look like as much of a dummy.Agreed, if you mean "should not have" pulled a white.
Yes, cables do have certain allowances for hot whites.
Even then, the white should be the line, not the load.
Done.Yeah, it's Friday, apologies. Maybe a mod can fix that for me so I don't look like as much of a dummy.
Somebody needs a head extraction.A violation every day of the week. They need to rip it out and pull a correct colored conductor.
With the fuse upside down maybe it is the line conductorAgreed, if you mean "should not have" pulled a white.

Do you think they can be saved, when their head is extracted from that location?Somebody needs a head extraction.
They will be like ..."I see the light, I see the light!".Do you think they can be saved, when their head is extracted from that location?
I agree it's a violation... But I'm not sure I would bother fixing it beyond coloring it with a Sharpie.A violation every day of the week. They need to rip it out and pull a correct colored conductor.
Other than use of the white conductor there, I could see a feeder tap being done this way in some situations.A fused version of a switch loop?
Yeah I was wondering the same thing, irregardless (not a word) of the white color, what the heck are they doing?A fused version of a switch loop?
Yeah maybe they were out of switches and didn't want to run out for one?A residential electrician in an industrial setting?
They would have used NM cable and probably not a heavy duty disconnect. Maybe even disconnect with plug type instead of cartridge type fuses.A residential electrician in an industrial setting?
That would be my guess. For a fused disconnect isn't the neutral required to be run to the switch?A fused version of a switch loop?
Negative. This is not a service disconnect or a room lighting switch.For a fused disconnect isn't the neutral required to be run to the switch?
Isn't a neutral always required to be run with a switch loop, unless the wiring method is conduit?Negative. This is not a service disconnect or a room lighting switch.
