Control wiring seperations?

[Jerseydaze]

ive never gotten this strait I need to run 18 gauge shielded control wiring to a kohler generator My understanding is it has to be rated 600 volt to mix with my other conductors .All the cable i can find is 300 volt rated. Am I wrong the gen set is 110/240

This is for the insulation rating:

300.3(C) Conductors of Different Systems.
(1) 600 Volts, Nominal, or Less. Conductors of ac and dc
circuits, rated 600 volts, nominal, or less, shall be permitted
to occupy the same equipment wiring enclosure, cable, or
raceway. All conductors shall have an insulation rating
equal to at least the maximum circuit voltage applied to any
conductor within the enclosure, cable, or raceway.


Now you need to consider what class of wiring this circuit is and see article 725.

Why not go with 16 gauge,,,,,,,Belden Cable carry's a 600v #16. I would think 600v #18 would be a special order.

sounds great where do I get that in north Jersey

Dollars to doughnuts Kohler specs call out the shielded cable to be in a raceway independant of the feeder.

I don't have a clue,I'm in Tx but any cable supplier could get it I'm sure
