This hype about wire/cable AC/DC and voltage separation has got me thinking.
IF you install a piece of surfix for example and it has insulation around the copper core, a thin sheet of metal and an outer sheath, why would you not be allowed to run it in the same wire way as a cat 6 screened cable for example?
Considering they are both screened to reduce interference, the surface is double insulated and the cat 6 FTP cable has double insulation. I dont see how running these 2 cables in a dust could pose a problem.
If you look at solar wire/cable, which is double insulated, can be installed directly on cable trays in direct sunlight without any further protection.
Then you get to the inverter, you have a mix of everything from low voltage to AC and DC mixed and even different sources of power all in one enclosure with covers you couldnt really classify as barriers.
We worried about a few silly wires in a wireway?
