A white conductor is traditionally used as a neutral or grounded conductor in electrical systems. However, it can be repurposed and marked to serve as an ungrounded conductor (hot) in specific situations, such as supplying power to a switch. It is not used as a return conductor from the switch to the outlet in these scenarios. This practice is outlined in the National Electrical Code (NEC) but requires proper identification to avoid confusion.
