do you know of any standard that says the highest voltage cable should go in the top or the bottom tray?

I have found api 552 to say the highest voltage should go in the BOTTOM tray. this is contrary to everything i have ever seen. any thoughts??

thanks!
 
Jasoin... I suggest you procure:

ANSI/IEEE Std 422-1986
"Guide for the Design and Installation of Cable Systems in Power Generating Plants"

Jasoin... The ANSI/IEEE-Std supports your contention regarding Vertical Segregation of Data "Transmission" cables and power cables.

The conflict arises because the API-std fails to prescribe what is represented by "Hi-Voltage!" construction.
