Morning
I am am looking for some guidance from the experts. My business is building control systems etc.
I am installing a system in a small office complex to control the radiators, each radiator is fitted with a 24 V operated actuator (6W) to turn the radiator on and off. These are switched by relays in a central controller to send 24V to the actuator.
The easiest way to route the 24V line is along an existing tray carrying network cables (Cat6) and then into a data dado rail.
I am aware that POE sends 44-57V down a Cat 6 cable, so my assumption is that there is nothing in the regs that would preclude me running my 24v lines by this routing. I could use Cat6 cable for the 24V lines if there was any issue with interference but that seems unlikely as POE does this anyway.
My main concern is whether anything in the regs precludes this and if not, what possible regs might apply to containment or cable type.
Many thanks
