Leviton Telcom MD830-IG Isolated Ground Receptacle 20A

Product Description

The LEVITON TELCOM MD830-IG is a Lev-Lok modular Decora-style isolated ground duplex receptacle rated at 20 amps. It is designed for use in commercial and institutional electrical installations where sensitive electronic equipment requires a clean, noise-free ground path separate from the equipment grounding conductor. The isolated ground design reduces electrical interference and helps protect connected devices from ground-loop noise. This receptacle is installed by licensed electricians in data centers, medical facilities, offices, and other locations with high-density electronic loads.

The MD830-IG is suited for commercial branch-circuit wiring applications where isolated ground outlets are specified by code or system design. The Lev-Lok modular format allows the device to snap into Decora-style wallplates and modular wiring systems. It is appropriate for use in 20-amp, 125-volt circuits serving computers, audio-visual equipment, lab instruments, and similar loads that are sensitive to electrical noise on the ground conductor.

Key Features

• Isolated ground construction separates the equipment ground from the grounding conductor to reduce electrical noise
• Lev-Lok modular format compatible with Decora-style wallplates and modular wiring systems
• 20-amp rating suitable for dedicated commercial branch circuits
• Duplex configuration provides two outlets per device
• Sold individually as a single unit

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation isolated ground receptacle for use in Lev-Lok modular Decora wiring systems on 20-amp, 125-volt commercial branch circuits.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC). De-energize the circuit at the breaker panel and verify absence of voltage with a meter before wiring. The isolated ground terminal must be connected to a dedicated insulated grounding conductor run back to the panel; it must not be bonded to the box ground. Follow all local jurisdiction requirements for isolated ground installations in commercial environments.
