The question however remains regarding the ‘control cables’ in the same conduit as the motor supply. They are from the same circuit and the same voltage but was concerned about eddy currents.
Thanks in advance

Hi Z
No I’m not concerned about cables inducing current into other cables. The paddle switch simply operates the contactor, there are no electronics involved. My query was around the two cables to the paddle switch exiting the steel trunking in the same hole as the motor cables or would the paddle switch cables need to exit in a separate hole? My mind tells me that if they are all in the same hole then any eddy currents should cancel out but wasn’t sure
In pvc conduit to a plastic light switch with a plastic back box would you run the live/neutral/earth down to the switch and back out or just the lives.
