    Servo power and encoder wire interference?

    Can I run the servo power wires and encoder wiring (Cat5) in the same conduit or do I run the risk of interference? They are DC servos, G320 drives.

    Thanks

    Is done but not recomended if you have a choice.
    If You do, you should use individual shielded pairs and overall shield cable for the encoder and twist the armature conductors together.

    Thanks Al,

    I would like to use the same conduit to clean up the wiring a bit, I'm going to try a shielded cat5 and a shielded power cable.
