  • Allow me to make a correction to my last post. I implied that the twisted pair could not be used for the low voltage control. Of course it can. It is just that the twisted pair is usually, not always, used for data. My practice has always been to use a 3 conductor twisted pair to insure its own reference so in this case I would prefer the twisted pair be used for low voltage control. The components that take data are mounted on boards some times costing more than their weight in gold. Control transformers are cheap and usually easy to replace. Running control voltage conductors with 120 volt cable is not new. It was designed for smart home wiring. As for the class restrictions demanded by the NEC my take is that they are paranoidal. But that is an opinion.
