Leviton Telcom MDT83-IGG 20 Amp Isolated Ground Receptacle

Product Description

The LEVITON TELCOM MDT83-IGG is a Lev-Lok Decora-style isolated ground tamper-resistant duplex receptacle rated at 20 amps. Isolated ground receptacles are specified in commercial and institutional electrical installations where sensitive electronic equipment requires a clean, low-noise ground path separate from the equipment grounding conductor. The tamper-resistant shutters meet NEC requirements for installations in areas accessible to children or required by local code. Finished in gray, the MDT83-IGG installs in standard single-gang or multi-gang Decora wallplate configurations and is handled by licensed electricians in new construction and retrofit applications.

This receptacle is suited for commercial offices, healthcare facilities, data centers, and similar environments where power quality and equipment protection are priorities. The Lev-Lok modular design allows the device to snap into compatible Lev-Lok wallplates and frames, streamlining multi-gang installations and reducing wiring time on large commercial projects. The isolated ground feature is commonly required near audio-visual equipment, medical instrumentation, and computer workstations sensitive to electrical interference.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and applicable local codes. De-energize and lock out the circuit at the panel before beginning any wiring work. The isolated ground terminal must be connected to a dedicated insulated equipment grounding conductor run back to the panel and must not be bonded to the standard equipment ground at the device location. Verify that the Lev-Lok frame and wallplate assembly are compatible before installation.
