Does the branch circuit wiring for a fire alarm air compressor have to be independant of other wiring?

George,
The compressor is used in the dry type sprinkler system. The system is pre-charged with air and not water. Voltages will be whatever the compressor motor requires.
As far as seperate conduit, I don't believe it has to.

If the air compressor is on an emergency circuit, the wiring would be separate from "normal" (nonessential) power wiring.
