Hot Wires:
A white wire is used as a hot wire, being one of the travelers between the switches; e.g. the lower red wire in this diagram. White wires are used as hot wires due to the way color coded wires are sheathed in nonmetallic cable, however the electrician makes a mental note that it is a hot wire by taping it black or marking it with a permanent marker.... the hot wire colors. Common Wire- white (color coded gray in this diagram but always a white wire in the actual circuit).
