What are red tags on a wire?

• A. Removed at cut over
• B. Attached at cut over
• C. Indicates a live circuit
• D. Indicates a failed connection

Answer: (A)

Red tags mark wires or components that are scheduled to be removed at the cutover when switching from the old system to the new one. They serve as a clear signal to workers that this item will be decommissioned at the designated time and should not be relied on or energized after the transition. This helps coordinate the changeover and prevent accidental energizing during the process. It’s not a signal that the circuit is live, nor that a connection has failed, and it doesn’t indicate that the item will be attached at cutover.
