Leviton Telcom MD830-IGR 20A Isolated Ground Locking Receptacle

Product Description

The LEVITON TELCOM MD830-IGR is a 5-20R configuration isolated ground decorator-style receptacle designed for commercial and industrial electrical installations where clean power and ground isolation are critical. Rated at 20 amps and 125 volts, this straight-blade receptacle features an isolated ground construction that separates the equipment ground from the system ground, reducing electrical noise and interference at sensitive loads. It is sold as a single unit and is installed by licensed electricians in facilities requiring isolated ground circuits per NEC guidelines.

The MD830-IGR is suited for installations serving sensitive electronic equipment, audio-visual systems, medical instrumentation, data centers, and similar environments where power quality and ground integrity directly affect equipment performance. The Lev-Lok feature provides a locking straight-blade interface that resists accidental disconnection, making it appropriate for rack-mount enclosures, server rooms, and other demanding commercial settings where standard duplex receptacles are insufficient.

Key Features

• Isolated ground design reduces electrical noise at sensitive equipment loads
• 5-20R straight-blade configuration accepts standard 5-20P plugs
• Lev-Lok locking mechanism prevents accidental cord disconnection
• Decorator-style form factor fits standard decorator wallplates
• 20-amp, 125-volt rating suitable for commercial-grade branch circuits

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation receptacle for 20-amp, 125-volt isolated ground branch circuits requiring a 5-20R straight-blade locking decorator outlet.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with NEC Article 250 requirements for isolated grounding conductors and Article 406 for receptacle installation. De-energize the branch circuit at the panel and verify absence of voltage with a meter before wiring. The isolated ground terminal must be connected only to an insulated isolated ground conductor run back to the panel; do not bond it to local metallic enclosures. Confirm the wallplate and mounting hardware are rated for decorator-style devices.
