Leviton Telcom MD820-IGI Hospital Grade Isolated Ground Receptacle

Product Description

The LEVITON TELCOM MD820-IGI is a Lev-Lok hospital grade isolated ground duplex receptacle rated at 15 amps. It is designed for use in demanding electrical environments where clean, noise-free power is critical to sensitive equipment operation. The isolated ground configuration separates the equipment grounding conductor from the building ground path, reducing electrical interference. The Decora-style faceplate profile and ivory finish allow it to integrate into standard wallplate systems. Licensed electricians install this device as part of low-voltage and branch-circuit wiring in healthcare and commercial facilities.

This receptacle is suited for installation in hospital patient care areas, medical offices, laboratories, and other commercial settings where isolated ground circuits are required by code. The Lev-Lok design provides a secure, tamper-resistant connection between plug and receptacle, reducing accidental disconnection of critical equipment. It is appropriate wherever 15-amp, 125-volt isolated ground branch circuits are specified by the electrical engineer or authority having jurisdiction.

Key Features

• Hospital grade construction meets stringent durability and safety standards for patient care areas
• Isolated ground design reduces electrical noise and interference to sensitive equipment
• Lev-Lok locking mechanism prevents accidental plug disconnection
• Decora-style form factor compatible with standard Decora wallplates
• Ivory finish for clean, professional appearance in commercial and healthcare environments
• 15-amp rating suitable for standard branch circuit applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation isolated ground receptacle for 15-amp, 125-volt branch circuits in commercial and healthcare electrical systems requiring hospital grade and isolated ground specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and all applicable local codes. De-energize the branch circuit at the panelboard and verify absence of voltage with a meter before wiring. Isolated ground receptacles require a dedicated insulated equipment grounding conductor run back to the panel; do not bond the isolated ground to local metallic conduit or boxes. Follow the authority having jurisdiction requirements for hospital grade receptacle placement in patient care areas.
