well i've solved(with some online research...thanks iwire) the isolating part(i think)
i relize now that since the studio is wood frame and my boxes are plastic (even floor boxes) i have essentially isolated my grounding ...since there isnt any metal and i have run all home runs to each and every required iso plug....for which i will install regular receptacles which will be isolated. the only metal will be my emt run to x-former(primary and seconday) and it will be bonded at x-former via bonding bushing (concentric knockout)but will not bond isolated groundbar to panel.
here is a question i have....
this designer will probably want to see those fancy orange iso ground recptacles, not believing that a regular plug is isolated.
but could that be a nec violaion(using orange recep) because lets say i decided to use a brass or stainless plate, it wouldnt be grounded since the yoke isnt(because plastic box)and in some rare and freak way could become energized posing a shock danger.
perhaps im out there and stretching on this one but somehow i feel i should ask, violation or not?
thanks,
