We're adding some walls downstairs, where the low voltage up until now has had a free reign. Now I need to add some regular 14/2 wire for some plugins and I need to route the wire across the hall to where the power panel will be.
All of the low voltage runs in the side of the I-beam up top. The high voltage wires I'm going to run go through the wall on the left. Then they need to somehow cross the hall there and make it to the room on the right, where the door is partially open. I could go through the ceiling, but that would mean almost making contact with the LV wires, though it would be at a 90 degree angle. I could also run the wires across the opening on the left (directly under the I-beam), and then across the open door frame....but that would mean running the HV wires parallel about 1 ft away from the low voltage wires.
The wiring is for a woodworking shop, so there is going to be some nasty motors on some of these. However, the particular wires I'm routing here are unlikely to see sustained use with something like a table saw or the like. They're just not well positioned for that. There will also be an HV run that powers flourescent lights...I dunno if they produce noise problems too.
Is it possible the I-beam will shield the LV wires from an HV wire directly below it? If so, then I could probably get away with running the wires across the door opening.
Suggestions? These wires represent about half of what our house has, so I don't want to risk a lot of interference after trying so hard to avoid that in the rest of the house.
thanks, as always.
