Drake; I had trouble finding that reference, then I found it in the back in Annex B. I think that would apply to the ampacity of the DC line, but then for the 12.47 Kv line, I believe you would need Figure 310.60 which then references Tables 310.60 C (77) thru Table 310.60 c (86) Without knowi

Can anyone direct me to the NEC article that stipulates how many inches of separation must be between cables operating at different voltages? I have a project with PV combiner box home runs at 1,000 volts DC in the same trench with 12.47 kV cables.  Table 300.5 shows minimum cover requirements f
