It is not recommended to run dimming wires in the same conduit. Class 1 and Class 2 wiring in the same conduit is not allowed according to the NEC. They need to be separate from each other by a barrier.

Can you put low voltage wire with High Voltage?
If the insulation on the low voltage wiring is rated no lower than the highest in the raceway, you can run both high and low.
Can I use low voltage wire for 120 volts?
It is possible to use a higher rated wire on a lower one. 120V applications usually use 600V rated wire. Smaller gauge is what lower voltage wire will do.
Can 120 volt and 480 volts be in the same conduit?
There is a registered person in this picture. If it’s 600volt rated insulation, yes. You don’t want to have emergency and normal power systems in the same place.
Can you have two different voltages in the same box?
If the conductors are rated for the same voltage and the neutrals are not, it is not legal.
Can you run 120V and 240V in same conduit?
There is a 120V circuit that can be used to pull 240V into a pipe. There are two 120V circuits for a 480V load.
Can you run electrical and low voltage in the same conduit?
It is code compliant to run different voltages in the same conduit if all conductors are rated for the highest voltages.
Can you run 120V and 24v in same conduit?
If the conduit rating of the wires matches, 120 vac and 24 vdc can be run in the same way. Many people do not like it.
Can you run 220v and 110v in the same conduit?
The insulation of conductors must be equal to or greater than the highest voltages present in the same raceway. You will be okay.
Can AC and DC run in the same conduit?
We have been asked a number of times if we can run both DC and AC cables through the same conduit. Since the DC cables could cause a DC voltage onto the AC side, it’s not an answer. The positive and negative cycles should be the same when the AC wave is in motion.
A barrier is needed to separate high and low voltage conductors. The NEC reference is older than 800 to 52(a)(1)c.
Can you mix voltages in a pull box?
Is a junction box able to hold both 120 and 277V conductors? All conductors should have an insulation voltage rating that is less than the maximum circuit voltage.
Can you mix voltages?
If the conductor insulation is able to handle the highest voltages, you can mix different voltages.
Do low voltage splices need to be in a box?
There are two answers. It can be a good idea if it’s required. I’d prefer them to be in conduit, with the exception of ENT/smurf tube. It is similar to electrical wires in that it protects them from damage and provides accessibility.
Can you run 120V and 277V in same conduit?
Is it possible to place 277V circuit conductors within the same raceway as 120V circuit conductors? If all conductors have the same insulation rating, they can occupy the same raceway, cable, or enclosure.
Can different voltages be run in the same conduit?
A deration factor will come into play when you reach more than 3 current carrying conductors in a conduit, so it’s perfectly ok to run different voltages in the same conduit. You must keep an eye on your fill conduit.
Can you have two different voltages in the same conduit?
It is possible for power conductors of different systems to occupy the same enclosure if they have the same insulation rating.
Can you run 120V and 480v in same conduit?
If it’s 600volt rated insulation, yes. You don’t want to have emergency and normal power systems in the same place.
How many circuits can be in a conduit?
It’s possible to have up to nine current carrying conductors before you have to consider derating. The neutrals are not the same as the grounds. One conduit is all you need. If you want the largest circuit, run one ground.
Does 24 volt wire need to be in conduit?
Installation of line-voltage wiring in protected runs is a requirement of most codes. A pathway for communication of analog or digital signals can be found in this wiring, which is typically 10 to 24V DC.
