Trenching: Required separation between 120/240 pipes and Communication pipes

[jango]

At a residence, what is the required and/or recommended distance separation between PVC conduits that will have 120/240V wiring and other PVC conduits that will have telephone, TV, security, etc. communication cabling? Thanks!

There is no NEC specified distance that these conduits must be kept apart. They can be right next to one another.

Check the local codes, but at a residence you're probably ok.

In the old days there was a chance that you would get "noise" on the low voltage wires from the 120/240, but I don't think that is as much of a concern now days with the newer cables.

The poco , and the telco usually have rules about this, ours does.
