15kV Cable and Signal Cable

15kV Cable and Signal Cable

(OP)
I have a situation on a specific Pocket Vent Project where I will be running a 6" cable tray in close proximity to a 15kV cable tray.  What is the minimum distance I have to maintain to stear clear of any induced EM fields that could cause me problems to the 24Vdc 4-20mA cables?  Is there a guideline in the code or IEEE Standard?  So far I can not find anything.  Thanks for your help with this situation.  Any comments are greatly welcomed.

HI JBUDA54
I think 2 ft is recommended [for solid bottom cable tray] according to
IEEE 422-1986
IEEE Guide for Design and Installation of Cable Systems
in Power Generating Stations (ANSI)
Best Regards

In addition to using solid bottom tray, a cover might be advisable.
