Quick question for you guys.
Today I was building a control enclosure.
I have 600vac, 120vac and 24vdc inside this enclosure.
It's always been a pet peeve of mine to never run 120 vac or 24vdc parallel to a 600vac conductor. I might intersect here and their but never run in parallel.
An engineer wanted me to run a 120vac wire inside the same wire duct has my 600vac.
I told him even tho both insulation's are rated for 600v it is bad practice to do this has their is a possibility of having dirty signals.
I am also certain I have read somewhere you need minimum 1" air gap or some kind of isolation barrier when doing this.
Any thoughts?
