Great Response in EE Times - RF Cafe Forums

The original RF Cafe Forums were shut down in late 2012 due to maintenance issues - primarily having to spend time purging garbage posts from the board. At some point I might start the RF Cafe Forums again if the phpBB software gets better at filtering spam.

Below are the old forum threads, including responses to the original posts.

I have a standard from one company on conduit and cable tray spacing based on the certain types of signals, voltage levels, etc. carried by the cables in the cable trays/conduits. The length of the cables also plays a factor in the recommended spacing of cable trays and conduits. For example, a cable tray carrying RTD and low level DC signals running in parallel beside a cable tray carrying 120 VAC must be spaced at least 6" for every 100' that the cable trays are running in parallel. The motivation for this standard is to seperate high noise producing cables from sensitive cables.

What I am trying to find is where this standard came from? Alternately, are there similar, updated, standards written on the subject? I've looked through the NEC and CEC thoroughly but have limited access to ISA and IEEE standards.

Thank guys.

RF Cafe began life in 1996 as "RF Tools" in an AOL screen name web space totaling 2 MB. Its primary purpose was to provide me with ready access to commonly needed formulas and reference material while performing my work as an RF system and circuit design engineer. The World Wide Web (Internet) was largely an unknown entity at the time and bandwidth was a scarce commodity. Dial-up modems blazed along at 14.4 kbps while tying up your telephone line, and a lady's voice announced "You've Got Mail" when a new message arrived...
