Example Situation: I have to design 24VDC power & I/O wiring from PLC control panel and field terminal box via trough or cable tray. Since the 24V, 10A power supply (in the PLC panel) is not a listed Class 2 device, the wiring defaults to Class 1 and I am planning to use 600V tray cable. In the field, a factory assembed cable with connector is installed from the field terminal box to the sensor (e.g. prox switch, pressure transmitter). However, this cable is rated for 300V and is #22AWG which doesn't meet Class 1 rules. Back at the control panel, the PLC I/O cards are wired to a terminal strip using a multi-conductor 300V cable as well.
Do Class 1 wiring rules (e.g. 600V insulation, #18AWG minimum per NEC 725) apply to the device cordsets and PLC cabinet I/O wiring in this situation?
If the same situation occurred, only this time the equipment (PLC, trough, wiring, devices) are all mounted on a skid as a piece of equipment, does the NEC even have jurisdiction under NEC 90.2 or would this make it subject to NFPA 79 (or other?) instead?
Thanks in advance.
