I would like to combine various cable types (5, 12, 24Vdc, 4-20ma, 0-10vdc, RG174 coax, etc) into one raceway. Some of these lines are solenoid controls, others are instrumentation measurement lines. Besides directions in the NEC I am looking for a proffesional standard that I can quote for best wiring practices. Suggestions for shielding, seperation, etc. I have my opinions on proper routing and segregation of wires but I need some kind or recomended practice or standard that is published with peer review.

I have searched IEEE & Google hi & lo and can't find what I need. Anyone out there have any suggestions?

look at

thread248-197854

also NFPA79 is a standard for machinery wiring, and is better than the NEC for some stuff.

There have been IEEE standards published in the past, but at least one of them was effectively passed over to the NFPA standard mentioned above.
 
Hi steverhnm
There are several standard as follows:
DESIGN & INSTALLATION OF CABLE SYSTEMS IN POWER, IEEE Std422-1986,
National Electrical Code (NEC), NFPA 70
VDE 298
Usually there are 3 or 4 segregation :
High Voltage Power Cables
Low Voltage Power Cables
Instrument Cables
Telecommunication cables.
According to IEEE Std 422 the High Voltage Cable Tray should be in the highest elevation
