Hubbell 8300

There are some relay based preamps that won't work with isolated ground outlets. The Pass Labs Aleph P, I have, is is one.

The 8300 is available in both isolated or regular ground configuration.

I was thinking that "isolated ground" simply meant that the ground conductor of the outlet was isolated from all other conductive componants in the outlet - preventing ground to the junction box, conduit, etc. If this is not correct, please let me know. Or if it is correct, and still applies to what you just said, then I guess I need to research this further (or hope it doesn't apply to any of my componants).

I'm installing a dedicated line, and my intention is to ground the conduit at the breaker box end, but be sure that it does not get grounded at the outlet end. The advice I got was to do it this way to prevent negating the shielding effect of the conduit.

The 8300 is available in both isolated or regular ground configuration.

Dear Hessong,
The standard indication for "Hospital Grade" is a green button on the outlet face.

The standard indication for "Isolated Ground" is a black triangle on the outlet face.

You can have each independently or both on the same outlet.

You can purchase all of the above in Orange, Ivory, Grey, White Black and Office White.

Hope this helps

Dill,
This is a little off the subject, but I also have a Pass Aleph P. I use orange hospital grade recepticles from Home Depot with an isolated ground. I've never had any problems.

I plan to upgrade these receptacles and welcome your experience so that I make the right choice.

Feel free to e-mail me so we don't distract from this thread.

Thanks,
