OK, here'e the questiond du jour. Was helping a friend and when we
took off the circuit breaker panel cover we discovered that for both
AC units, whoever did this used white for one of the 240V hots. There
is no tape or tag to identify it as a hot. Is this allowed by code?


No. With tape or paint, it would be.


I have some (un)Sharpies in my electrical toolbox to mark wires.
