What method is commonly used to identify grounded conductors in larger sizing?

The identification of grounded conductors, particularly in larger sizing, often employs various methods to ensure clarity and compliance with safety standards. The method often used includes color coding, where specific colors indicate the type of conductor and its grounding role. This method provides a visual and immediate way for electricians and technicians to recognize grounded conductors and distinguish them from other types.

Markings, such as labels or printed indicators on the conductors themselves, also serve to identify the function of the conductors. These markings can include text or symbols that substantially clarify the use of the conductor.

Branding refers to the permanent identification on the conductor itself from the manufacturer, which can confirm its specifications and intended use. This method is useful because it provides information about the conductor's material, rating, and grounding features.

Given that all these methods—color coding, markings, and branding—can be used independently or in combination to effectively identify grounded conductors, it is accurate to say that any of these options could be correct in varying contexts. Thus, the comprehensive nature of these identification methods supports the choice that indicates all of them can be used to identify grounded conductors in larger sizes.
