Question:
Hello,
My question is do conductors passing straight through a junction box need to be identified in that box ?

Answer:
Hi Jeff,
Thanks for the question. The short answer is no. The rules for identification of branch circuit conductors and feeder conductors are provided in Sections 210.5(C) and 215.12( C). Identification means is triggered if there are one or more nominal voltage systems in the premises wiring system. The second trigger is that such identification is required only if the conductors are terminated, spliced, or otherwise connected within the box. See each of these Code sections for the complete identification requirements.
