CABLE ARMOUR AS PROTECTION BARRIER

CABLE ARMOUR AS PROTECTION BARRIER

CABLE ARMOUR AS PROTECTION BARRIER

(OP)
The Engineer from my Company is informed from the Electrical Inspector of Ontario that - the Cable Armour of the Power TECK Cable can be treated as a PROTECTION BARRIER,and Power and Communication Cables can be installed on the same Cable Tray.
Is there any Canadian or American Electrical Standard describing this application ??
Thanks

RE: CABLE ARMOUR AS PROTECTION BARRIER

The protection barrier is for different voltage class cables. U.S. rules require a barrier between conductor that are on the supply side of a service switch and other conductors.

However, cable armor is not considered to be protection against cable crushing and similar injuries.
