two dedicated lines into one duplex outlet


i am setting up 4 dedicated lines; two 20 amp and two 15 amp. I'll be using Hubbell 5362 outlets. Can i place individual lines into each of the receptacles? Can the ground be isolated for each line on a particular outlet or the two lines on that outlet would have to share the ground? Does it matter? Should i keep the same amperage lines on the same duplex outlet? I'll be using 10/2 and 12/2 romex for the 20-amp and 15-amp lines respectively. Thanks for your input!

Since # 12 wire is rated for twenty amps why not do four twenty amp circuits?

I hope those hubbels are I.G.?

Be sure an pull a dedicated neutral with each hot.

I would tie all the I.G. grounds together.

One other thing, If it were me personnally I'd use four duplex outlets instead of splitting two in half. I guess I'm a little old fashion.

Zippyy - I don't know about your gear but when i read the owners manual on my stuff practically every piece recommends a dedicated circuit. This is usually for Isolation of AC noise not overload.

PS- I haven't forgotten about you Zig :^)
