Leviton Telcom 279-PM 3-pole 4-wire Grounding Receptacle

Product Description

The LEVITON TELCOM 279-PM is a single-outlet, 3-pole, 4-wire grounding receptacle designed for use in electrical distribution and wiring applications. This device provides a grounded connection point in wiring systems that require a dedicated ground path alongside the standard current-carrying conductors. The 4-wire configuration supports equipment that demands a separate equipment grounding conductor, which is common in commercial and industrial settings where personnel safety and equipment protection are priorities. Licensed electricians install this type of receptacle as part of branch-circuit wiring in compliance with NEC requirements.

This receptacle is suited for applications where a single outlet with a full grounding configuration is required. The 3-pole, 4-wire design makes it appropriate for use in commercial facilities, industrial equipment installations, and specialty electrical panels or enclosures. It is sold and packaged as an individual unit, making it a straightforward replacement or new-installation component for electricians working on both new construction and retrofit projects.

Key Features

• Single-outlet configuration with 3-pole, 4-wire grounding design
• Dedicated equipment grounding conductor path for enhanced safety
• Packaged as a single unit for individual replacement or installation
• Hardware accessory classification suitable for trade electrical work

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-install grounding receptacle for 3-pole, 4-wire branch-circuit applications in commercial and industrial electrical systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and all applicable local codes. De-energize the circuit at the breaker panel and verify zero voltage with a meter before beginning any wiring work. Ensure the grounding conductor is properly terminated to the ground terminal of the receptacle. Do not use this receptacle as a replacement for a non-grounding outlet without completing the full grounding circuit.
