Spacing
Notes

1/2/5

Minimum Spacing in Inches between Classes –

Steel Conduit/Tray

Example:

Spacing relationship between 480V AC incoming power leads and 24V DC logic leads.

– 480V AC leads are Class 2 ; 24V DC leads are Class 6
– For separate steel conduits, the conduits must be 3 inches (76 mm) apart
– In a cable tray, the two groups of leads are to be 6 inches (152 mm) apart

Spacing Notes:

1. Both outgoing and return current carrying conductors are to be pulled in same

conduit or laid adjacent in tray.

2. Cables of the following classes can be grouped together.

Class 1; Equal to or above 601 volts

Classes 2,3, and 4 may have their respective circuits pulled in the
same conduit or layered in the same tray.

Classes 5 and 6 may have their respective circuits pulled in the
same conduit or layered in the same tray.
Note: Bundle may not exceed conditions of NEC 310

Classes7 and 8 may have their respective circuits pulled in the
same conduit or layered in the same tray.
Note: Encoder cables run in a bundle may experience some amount of
EMI coupling. The circuit application may dictate separate spacing.

Classes 9, 10 and 11may have their respective circuits pulled in the
same conduit or layered in the same tray.
Communication cables run in a bundle may experience some amount of
EMI coupling and corresponding communication faults. The application
may dictate separate spacing.

3. All wires of class 7 thru 11 MUST be shielded per the recommendations

4. In cable trays, steel separators are advisable between the class

groupings.

5. If conduit is used, it must be continuous and composed of magnetic

steel

6. Spacing of communication cables classes 2 thru 6 is:

CONDUIT SPACING

THRU AIR

115 Volts – 1 inch

115 Volts – 2 inches

230 Volts – 1.5 inches

230 Volts – 4 inches

460/575 Volts – 3 inches

460/575 Volts – 8 inches

575 volts – proportional to 6”

575 volts proportional to 12”

per 1000 volts.

per 1000 volts

General Notes

1. Steel conduit is recommended for all wiring classes. (Classes 7-11).

2. Spacing shown between classes is the minimum required for parallel runs

less than 400 feet. Greater spacing should be used where possible.

3. Shields for shielded cables must be connected at one end only. The other

end should be cut back and insulated. Shields for cables from a cabinet to an
external device must be connected at cabinet end. Shields for cables from
one cabinet to another must be connected at the source end cabinet.
Splicing of shielded cables, if absolutely necessary, should be done so that
shields remain continuous and insulated from ground.

4. Power wire is selected by load. 16AWG is the minimum recommended size

for control wiring.
