sparky:
The substantiation will be satisfied if the change in the rule is included in the 2005 NEC.

I can't understand why it is that smaller conductor identification gained so much notoriety in the 02' while larger conductors fare poorly here.

C-H
In the area of the States I work green with yellow stripe is used for indicating isolated ground conductors.
The manufacturers of cables(green and a green with yellow stripe) and UPS equipment (at least some) also use green with yellow stripe for isolated grounds.
What do use in your area for isolated ground identification or do you even install IG conductors?

Joe,
changes in art 200.7(C)(2) had people running a 3 wire for switch loops, because of the 'permanently reidentified' line debated ad nasuem.
Now the same brewhaha is going to befall the GEC ?
it seems the CMP(s) have beat up the identification issue randomly throughout the last few code cycles.
IMO, if one has trouble identifying a GEC or switch loop, they should'nt be wearing a tool belt anyways.....

sparky: no truer words can be spoken!!
I think I saw something where a proposal called for a true neutral "white wire" in a switch. I think that's good and I would recommend it anyway.
The new 2005 cycle should be very interesting, and I will be sending in comments to support the one above too.

I think Sparky's last post speaks for alot of field electricians.

Do you think that the code panel will allow the use of green for the grounding electrode conductor if this proposal is accepted?
Seems to me that it will not, and the issue and case is closed concerning the long winded remarks by more than one person here a few months ago.
I could not find that thread, and if anyone knows where it is kindly post the link here, or was it deleted by the Moderator??

iwire:
Isn't that why two EGC's are included in certain types of MC Cable, one is "Green" and the other is "Green with a Yellow Stripe?"
You are correct, we don't need to use the green with the yellow stripe for the GEC identification.
