Wiring inside distribution boxes and cabinets is mixed

Mixing higher voltage 480-volt three-phase cables in the same cabinet as lower voltage 24- or 120-volt control wiring and communication cabling can result in erratic operation or even complete failure of electronic equipment inside the cabinet. Knowing what is inside the cabinet before you open it. What are the NEC rules related to the mixing of conductor...
