Leviton Telcom MDT82-IGE Hospital Grade Isolated Ground Receptacle

Product Description

The LEVITON TELCOM MDT82-IGE is a Lev-Lok hospital grade isolated ground tamper resistant decorator receptacle designed for demanding electrical installations where safety and signal integrity are critical. The isolated ground configuration separates the grounding path from the equipment grounding conductor, reducing electrical noise that can interfere with sensitive electronic equipment. The tamper resistant feature uses internal shutters to block foreign object insertion, meeting code requirements for healthcare and other protected environments. Licensed electricians typically install this device in commercial, medical, and institutional settings where both personnel safety and clean power quality are required.

This receptacle is suited for hospital, clinic, laboratory, and institutional facilities where hospital grade devices are mandated by NEC Article 517 or local codes. The Lev-Lok design provides a secure, modular connection method that integrates with compatible Lev-Lok wiring device systems. The tamper resistant shutters make it appropriate for any location where accidental or intentional contact with live contacts is a code or safety concern, including pediatric areas and public access spaces.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation receptacle for Lev-Lok modular wiring device systems in hospital grade electrical applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code and applicable local codes, including NEC Article 517 for healthcare facilities. De-energize the circuit at the breaker panel and verify absence of voltage with a meter before beginning work. Confirm that the isolated ground conductor is run separately and bonded only at the panel to maintain the noise-reduction benefit. Do not connect the isolated ground terminal to the equipment ground at the device or box level.
