Stand by and normal lighting

[Ibewlocal7]

What does our bible say about dividing stand by and normal light switches in the same box? I
Was told once before that as long as the potential between switches was less then 300 volts,
Then u didn't need to put dividers in the box between the switches. Is this true? I need some clarification on this!

You're asking two different questions. The answer to question number one is yes, Optional Standby circuits and devices can occupy the same box with Normal circuits.

If you were asking about Emergency circuits the answer would be no, read articles 700, 701, and 702.

The answer to number two can be found in 404.8(B)
