Grouding for dedicatied lines?


Hi,
Can anyone help me how to grouding my dedicated lines? I need all the details so that I can print out and give it to electrician because I know nothing about this stuff. I read some posts about dedicated line but don't understand.
Should I ground my dedicated line to the main ground of the house? Or should I use seperatd ground for dedicated line using star ground system? Which's way better? What's star ground system? I plan to do 3 dedicated outlets in my room.
Please help
Thank you very much.

I ran a dedicated line to the audioroom and separated it into 4 circuits. I ran a 220V and stepped it down with a toroidal transformer. If you are going to run a dedicated line--I recommend this. It gives you two live wires out of phase (both at 55v). As for the ground I used a dedicated true earth ground nearest the subpanel (located adjacent to the audioroom). There was the concern of hum with different grounds, but I was fortunate and didn't have that problem. Definitely one of the most cost effective upgrades I have ever done.
