Textbook Question
Chapter 26, Problem 17R
Circle the correct answer from the following statements:
- a. Conductors for fire alarm systems are not permitted to be installed in the same raceways, cables, or electrical boxes as the light and power conductors.
- b. It is permissible to install fire alarm conductors in the same raceways, cables, or electrical boxes as the light and power conductors because the conductors for fire alarm systems covered in Article 760 are small and would easily fit into other electrical raceways and boxes.
