"All conductors in a raceway must be rated for the highest voltage in said raceway. "
No high/low voltage in same box or raceway I know. However the Generac install manual states "...this (line+control) wiring may be run in the same conduit if the appropriate insulation-rated wire is used"
So does that mean I can run 75C 300V shielded CMR 18AWG 2-pair control cable in same raceway with #4-4-2 CU THHN line conductors from a 17KVA 120/240V air-cooled Generac, to the ATS? (50ft.)
If not this, what wire/cable do they refer to. Does it all have to be 600V rated wire from this power-limited source?
Also P.S.,
ATS utility input will be fed straight from the load lugs of the meter, ie., ATS is now first disconnect. So do I drive new ground rods for the ATS or bring #6 from the ATS clear over & tie in to the existing main panel ground rods. (I know I will have to rewire the main panel to a floated neutral)
thanks,
