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.

∙ 11y agoI 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.

∙ 6y agoBy 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?
Run DMC
Why is the ac and heat working at the same time?
The ac unit compressor will run when it is in defroster mode and heat setting is on.
Is it ok for a laptop to run on ac adaptor and battery at the same time?
yes
How is ac supplied all over the UK?
By electricity pylons and cables
Do both cooling fans on a Chevy lumina 98 run at the same time?
Only when the AC is on.
How do you bypass the AC compressor for your car to still run?
Dependin on the vehicle you may be able to get the serpentine belt for the same vehicle that does not have the option of having AC
Why does your heater and your ac run at the same time?
The Furnace fan is used to assist the AC in doing its job It is not heating at all just air distribution.
Why does your car run cooler with the AC on?
ac is making fan run more
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.
Does the PlayStation 1 input cord work with PlayStation 2?
For both controllers and AV cables, the PS1, PSX, and PS2 are all the same. The AC adapter, however, is different. I'm not sure about cables for the PS3, so I cannot verify if that is another option.
Is an AC generator can use AC motor and vice verso?
Are you planning to build a perpetual motion machine in which the power generated by an AC generator is used to run an AC motor which is used to run the same AC generator which provides it with power? Because that won't work. Yes, you can use a motor to generate electricity, and you can use electricity to run a motor, but the process is not 100% efficient and if you try to make it a closed loop, it will run down fairly quickly. So, what do we actually do? We use fuel to run an AC generator, or we use waterfalls or wind, or some other energy source, and then we use the power to run our motor.
Do you need two controllers for two model trains?
It depends on the type of locomotives you have. Several DCC locomotives can be run on the same track with one DCC controller. Traditional DC or AC locomotives on the same track will only require one controller and they will run at approximately the same speed. (AC and DC cannot be mixed)
Does AC have to be converted to DC in order to bury high voltage power lines?
No, there are many instances where AC high voltage lines are installed underground. Where an industrial building has an electrical vault within the building, the high voltage is brought to it using high voltage cables in conduit to supply the vault with primary voltage. These types of installations are usually only used where the customer uses a high volume of electrical power.
