If you have track lighting being supported by unitstrut and you need to run norm and em wires in the same track had do you keep them separate. The field was seeing if there wads unitstrut with a divider
 
You need to make sure your track is listed for emergency, as it can be challenging to find a track that is. I found this out a few months ago when we were trying to specify normal and emergency lighting on the same track. Eventually we ended up just using monopoint pendant fixtures for emergency lighting, and the track fixtures for normal. Even if you do find a 2-circuit track that can have 1 normal and 1 emergency circuit, though, the normal and emergency wiring need to be separated.
 
Sounds like he's asking a strut raceway (Article 384) not track lighting. I've have never seen the typical 1 5/8" lighting strut with a divider. I have seen the strut used for the normal lighting and 1/2" or 3/4" EMT attached to the side of it or run separately for the EM.
