I find it a little confusing. 200.6 states that #6 and smaller shall be identified by a continuous white or gray outer finish on other than green wire along its entire length. So it seems that you could apply a finish layer of tape along the entire wire.(lots of work!) However,if you read the detailed interpretation in the handbook it states
"for 6 AWG or smaller, identification of the grounded conductor solely by distinctive white or gray marking at the time of installation is not permitted except as described for flexible cords and multiconductor cables" .......
So, by the interpretation, are they saying that you cannot mark it, as in a few wraps of tape at the termination or are they saying you cannot re-identify it at all for use as a neutral? The rules for identifying a #6 or smaller green wire read the same except 250.119 states that you can't use a green wire as a neutral(grounded conductor)
except for a particular low voltage exception. Any comments anyone?
