*In some instances it is permitted if the conductor insulation is the same.
It is also permitted if the two voltages are isolated by a divider. Bud's
suggestion is a good idea. One raceway will pass through the box without
the conductors being exposed while the other will use it like a junction
box. And it will be neat.
