    No , Low and high voltage can not live together. They must be at least 6 inches apart parallel or 90 deg if crossing over one another X pattern. Drill new holes and make sure you use CL3 wire.

    Yea what he said. If you incest on using non CL/3 wire you must put in it conduit but still have to keep it away from hi-voltage wire.
