From the 2018 Handbook: 4-030 Subrule 4) allows the insulated neutral conductors in multi-conductor cables to be permanently identified by painting or other means where the internal conductors are accessible and visible. Other acceptable means are coloured insulating tape or coloured heat-shrink tubing. In many cases, these means of identification are easier to apply in the field and can be more permanent than painting. Subrule 4) requires that, where such means are used to identify insulated neutral conductors, the manufacturer’s numbering of the conductor remain legible. |

READ 200.6. pretty much says any colored wire can be used as a grounded conductor so long as it is properly identified as a white wire. Meaning paint it white. No rules about what wiring method is employed. ***
200.7 gives us the rules about re-identifiying a white conductor to another color such as black or blue for use as an ungrounded conductor. That is where it is limited to cable assemblies. ***- Inspectors cannot fathom this wording from 200.6 and will pull the "I interpret this to mean....." crapola on you every single time they find you trying to re-identify a white wire to another color . But that doesn't change the fact that the code allows it. This is your mactip of the day!

The code allows a white wire in a cable assembly to be used as a hot conductor if re-identified, but I don't think it,goes the other way, that is, another color being used as a neutral.

Oh crap, I got this whole thing backwards what the op was asking. I did address Coolwill's statement though. Read the code I posted in your code book.
Coolwill, you just learned something from your ole buddy Mikey............ So now we are 1 / 1000. ![]()
