Even with barriers can you have 24v wiring and 120v wiring in the same pull box per NEC? You would in a floor box with teledatsa outlet and recpt so I don't see why not. Thanks.

you can have any voltages in a box, or conduit you wish,
as long as ALL insulation is rated for the highest voltage present.

That would not be true if the 24volt circuits were from a class 2 or class 3 system. Regardless of their insulation value they cannot occupy the same raceway or box as power conductors.

Even with barriers?

Enclosures with barriers comply with 725.136(B) so you can have an enclosure with barriers that has 120 volts conductors in one sectioned space and 24 volt in the other.

Rob was mentioning the informational note No 1 to 300.3(C).

Let me throw a wrench in the gears.

How is is possible to supply a 24 volt contactor coil from a class 2 circuit and also connect to the power terminals of same contactor if they are to be in separate enclosures?;)

You do so in accordance with 725.136(D).;)
