The state of WI actually has a "recommended" color code for 277/480 and 120/208V. Now, what "recommended" actually means, I guess that's up to you.Black, Red, Blue
Brown, Yellow, Orange and one electrician argued YBO was against the NEC it had to be BOY
it'll make your palm hairy too :laughing:If you play with it you'll go blind
Yeah well why do I need glassesIf you play with it you'll go blind
Ahhh, much easier to read.If you play with it you'll go blind
In what situation would you run #14s in commercial or industrial? This is definetely something I thought was in the code. Maybe it's a local thing. All branch circuits we pull are at least #12#14 is not allowed in commercial or industrial, except for controls.
Factoring total installation and lifetime operational costs I would guess that one is probably true. Ohms laws are great stuffs, but you can put easily twice as many fixtures onto one circuit with 277 v. Less wire to run.277-volt lighting is cheaper to run than 120-volt lighting.
note- BBQ, Wendon, Big John, et al, I said guess, it is highlighted. Google won't mind if you let them rest for a while....
