    Quick question folks. I have bought a huge second hand control box for a bargain price and I'm starting to layout the various components. I am going to keep the 24v cables separate from the mains. Should you keep the 80v cables for the drives separate from the mains too?

    Its always good practise to keep them apart as much as practical. Also I know that you have purchased good quality cable for the mains stuff. Its nice to keep the colours brown and blue as well for 230V and say red and black for the 24Vdc that will help to avoid confusion.
