That's a code violation and unsafe: class 1 and class 1 limited-energy need to be separated by a physical barrier or insulated to the voltage of the higher class. And wallwarts are designed to be in open air for cooling. I'm looking for a plenum or in-wall rated power supply, preferably UL listed for that purpose, with a mounting solution that satisfies the code requirements (i.e. appropriate division/separation of different classes of wiring). Seems to be commonly asked question but I haven't found a good answer yet. | |
