Single Point Ground

Jea48
Well I posted because I wanted an explanation of exactly what it was, I've read it is desirable. But if it comes with Code wiring then that is all I need to know. Just puzzled then why it would ever be recommended if it's mandatory. thks for the reply.

Xti16 I have in mind the wiring my electrician will be doing.

Definetly do the dedicated circuits keeping your digital components on seperate circuits from your analog components .
Also put these on an isolated ground . Are you energy contious ? How many incandesent light bulbs have you switched to flourescent ? It is getting more difficult to isolate the noise makers now a days !
Make sure that your electrician is well versed in isolated grounds . This type of circuit is generally used in the commercial end of the buisness , hospitals and computer centers . I found that residential electricians were aware of isolated grounds but did not know the proper procedure for installing them !
see I have mixed up single point with isolated grounds, sorry. So can I start over are these recommended and how are they implemented.',

But I see I confused single point with isolated grounds,
sorry. So can i start over, is this desirable and how is it done?

Thks both of you for the detailed replies.

Jea48, pls clarify your comment 'If you do have to use some type of metallic raceway, conduit, ask him if he can use MC aluminum armor cable'. Would that be because of a Code requirement ?

If so I am not aware of any, pls confirm you are not recommending a metallic conduit unless required by code.

Is all NM-B sheathed or is there an unsheathed version ?
And what is the sheathing for ?

Is this different from regular cable I would buy at Home Depot ?

Use 'Nylon flexible duplex cover plates'.

Why this recommendation Jea48 ?

thanks to all for the comments, this has been very helpful.
