We are replacing our canning machine with another newer one. The newer one has a larger electrical panel and thus cannot be installed near the machine as the the older one was.
Right now, it's looking like a 75ft wire run.
My question is, if run into the same PVC 1.25" conduit, all wires same gauge (14 AWG THHN) {maybe a larger ground}, will I have any interference issues?
I've had issues before with other machines that had RTDs and they wouldn't read properly until I ground one end of the shielded cable. This isn't the same situation though, there is no analog output and as of now, the 24VDC wires are not shielded.
Thanks

- 20 I/O wires (24VDC) [IN mostly Prox switches/Photo Eyes & Safety Door switches, OUTS air solenoids)
- 6 Motor leads (3 Phase 240VAC) {For a 1HP conveyor motor, and .5HP ~ 1HP lift motor, which will pretty much be set once and left.)
- 1 Switch (120VAC) {For a motor contacter)
- 1 Ground wire
