What is required for Class 1 circuit conductors and power-supply conductors that are not functionally associated?

Class 1 circuit conductors and power-supply conductors that are not functionally associated must be separated by a solid fixed barrier to ensure safety and compliance with electrical codes. This requirement helps prevent any potential interference between the circuits, which could lead to malfunctions or hazards.

The installation of a solid fixed barrier serves to physically separate the conductors, minimizing the risk of electrical faults, such as short circuits or signal cross-talk between circuits that operate on different electrical principles or serve different functions. By implementing this separation, the integrity and reliability of both the low voltage and power supply systems can be maintained.

This approach aligns with safety standards aimed at preventing electrical hazards and maintaining the reliability of both the low voltage communication systems and the power systems. Ensuring that each type of conductor has an appropriate level of separation adds an essential layer of protection in installations where diverse systems coexist.
