The Electricians' Licensing Board in conjunction with the State Electrical Inspectors, municipal electrical & building inspectors & other representatives of the electrical industry in the State of New Hampshire have put together this list of common licensing and installation concerns and problems encountered by the Board's office staff relative to the State's licensing law RSA 319-C and the administrative rules.

2. Section 210.5 Identification for Branch Circuits.

(C) Identification of Ungrounded Conductors. Ungrounded conductors shall be identified in accordance with 210.5(C)(1) or (2), as applicable

(1) Branch Circuits Supplied from More Than One Nominal Voltage System.

Where the premises wiring system has branch circuits supplied from more than one nominal voltage system, each ungrounded conductor of a branch circuit shall be identified by phase or line and system at all termination, connection, and splice points in compliance with 210.5(C)(1)(a) and (b).

(a) Means of Identification. The means of identification shall be permitted to be by separate color-coding, marking tape, tagging, or other approved means.

(b) Posting of Identification Means. The method utilized for conductors originating within each branch-circuit panelboard or similar branch-circuit distribution equipment shall be documented in a manner that is readily available or shall be permanently posted at each branch-circuit panelboard or similar branch-circuit distribution equipment. The label shall be of sufficient durability to withstand the environment involved and shall not be handwritten.
