and power circuits shall be permitted to occupy the same cable, enclosure, or raceway only where the equipment powered is functionally associated.

(2) In Factory- or Field-Assembled Control Centers. Control circuits and power circuits shall be permitted to be installed in factory- or field-assembled control centers.

(3) In a Manhole. Control circuits and power circuits shall be permitted to be installed as underground conductors in a manhole in accordance with one of the following:

(1) The power or control circuit conductors are in a metal-enclosed cable or Type UF cable.

The conductors are permanently separated from the power conductors by a continuous firmly fixed noncon ductor, such as flexible tubing, in addition to the insulation on the wire.

(3) The conductors are permanently and effectively separated from the power conductors and securely fastened to racks, insulators, or other approved supports.

(4) In cable trays, where the control circuit conductors and power conductors not functionally associated with them are separated by a solid fixed barrier of a material compatible with the cable tray, or where the power or control circuit conductors are in a metal-enclosed cable.

522.25 Ungrounded Control Circuits. Separately derived ac and 2-wire dc circuits and systems 50 volts

or greater shall be permitted to be ungrounded, provided that all the following conditions are met:

(1) Continuity of control power is required for orderly shutdown.

(2) Ground detectors are installed on the control system.

522.28 Control Circuits in Wet Locations. Where wet contact is likely to occur, ungrounded 2-wire direct- current control circuits shall be limited to 30 volts maximum for continuous dc or 12.4 volts peak for direct current that is interrupted at a rate of 10 to 200

Hz.
