[TowerTalk] 120 v inside conduit

[Norman Hockler]

Aside from the fact that it's not good practice the NEC says that control 
wiring CAN NOT  be run in the same conduit (regardless of  Insulation) with 
line voltages.

The code says that class 2 control wiring must be run in its own 
conduit.  Class 2 is voltages less than 50 volts and 30 va.
