Remarking of White Wire in 220V circuit

[porschedude996TT]

What color tape should I use to remark the white wire I am using in a new 220v circuit. I am using 10-2 with a ground an the existing wires are black and white. Sould I tape the white wire with red or black tape?

Thanks!

All thats needed is a single band of red tape near each termination.

Red or Black on both ends and any terminations (mid length splice, etc)

Tape 'er up with red electrical tape.

Color the white wire with a black sharpie the entire length you can see and reach. Good rule of thumb I learned as an apprentice Union Electrician

Uh..
Shouldn't you be useing 10-3 with a red,black, and white wire?
The uninulated ground wire in 10-2 isn't ment to be used as a netrual in a 220 circuit.

There is no neutral in a 220v circuit - just 2 hots...

He did say that it is being used as a service. In the case as you say, than it could be used without a neutral for a dedicated 240v connection with no need for 120 or a neutral connection.

I would get a piece of shrink tube and slide it over the wire

Maybe I had a poor choice of words in my original statement. The cable I am using is a 10-2 with a ground (Black/White/Bare) and the circuit that I am installing is a 220V circuit. I was asking how to identify the white wire which would be connected to a breaker. The Black wire would be connected to a breaker on the other Line, and the ground would be connected to the ground bar. There is no need for a neutral wire in a 220v circuit.
