At our college, a researcher in his electrophysiology lab wants an isolated dedicated ground, separate from the building ground system. He wants "to connect his equipment to this isolated ground system, thereby preventing ground loops and minimizing the electrical/magnetic fields that result from ground loops". Is his resoning correct, and is this allowed per the NEC?
Can we not run a separate isolated ground back to the main grounding point for the building and acheive the same and meet code? Thanks in advance. Andrew
