Adam, My Canadian Electrical Code requires "separation" between conductors of different "systems". I believe the NEC is the same/similar. You may notice a flimsy (yet stiff) paper(?) barrier between the AC and DC wiring areas in some AC/DC inverter disconnect enclosures assume this is

Do you mean underground trenches? If so, we run 15kV, 480V and telephone in the same trench, with water next door. On Mon, Oct 5, 2015 at 10:45 AM, AE Solar wrote: > Wrenchers, > Anyone know of code violations associated with running DC conduit in the > same

I’m not sure of the code but if you do this, be sure to twist the DC wiring to reduce the possibility of common mode noise and inductive coupling from the parallel AC wire. Larry On Oct 5, 2015, at 8:45 AM, AE Solar wrote: Wrenchers, Anyone know of code

Wrenchers, Anyone know of code violations associated with running DC conduit in the same trench as conduit for AC secondary? Is that allowed? Bad practice even if allowed?Thanks Adam Adam Katzman Autonomous Energies 4872 State Route 9G Germantown NY, 12526 www.autonomousenergies.com (518)
