In California and I believe the NEC states " no low voltage can share conduit with high voltage". Also it's not recommend to even run "with" or alongside conduit w/ AC in it. The interference will kill you transmission speed.
Answer:
The above answer is very true. While Cat5 can intersect with AC wire at 90 degrees to the AC wiring, it should not be run parallel with it, unless it's at least a foot or so away.

BeauI am not familiar with any electrical code that prevents putting any wire and a coax together in a conduit, so a mere ground wire should meet code and function perfectly. Obviously, if there are mechanical issues that distort the coax, then there is a problem or if there are extreme voltages or currents related to the situation.
With conduit, one is not supposed to need a ground because the conduit should be grounded. (If not, then we have a different issue.)
Since the conduit should be grounded, there can be no harm done by including a ground wire. If the ground wire ever did carry current, as it should when fulfilling its role as a safeguard, there would be no chance of transferring any current to the cable because there is a direct contact between the ground wire and the cable.
The ground wire should also not affect the signal in the coax since the shielding of the coax is adequate by design to be in the vicinity of other conductors.
By NEC you can if insulation on wires is adequate for all voltages present in raceway. if fire controls, this may case, see art 700. However, if they have enough current flowing through them, they can cause interference with other circuits. For controls, I usually combine them if using twisted pair shielded for 4-20mA circuits and if the other conductors don't have a lot of current going through them - an amp or more. Also sensitivity of other circuits plays in to this decision.

What is the difference between in ac and dc powwer cable?
There is no difference in the cables. The only difference is the type of electrical power being transmitted. AC or DC applications use the same wires.
Will AC power tools run on a DC generator?
If the power tool has brushes to bring the current to the armature it is classed as an universal motor. It will run on DC as long as the voltage is the same potential. On a welding machine the 120 volt receptacle is a DC output and the grinders, drills, etc that are plugged into it work fine.
Can AC motor work on DC?
use a inverter to change dc to ac or couple it to a ac motor making it a motor generator. Comment: AC motors cannot run on DC since their principle of operation based on induction. There's an exception,however, and thats for Universal Series motor which can run on either AC or DC.
Can you run a 12 volt ac water pump with a 12 volt dc adapter?
No. You need 12 volt AC to run a 12 volt AC motor, not 12 volt DC.
Did AC-DC work with another band or artist?
