I've decided to go ahead and buy a Powervar ABC1200-11 power conditioner. It's my understanding that even though these units were made for medical usage, they have two versions of this model - one with regular receptacles, and one with hospital grade receptacles indicated by a small green led on each receptacle).
I'm thinking about going to DIY route and upgrading the AC receptacles to medical grade ones (and possible putting in an IEC adapter to roll my own power cable). Ebay seems to be the cheapest place to get the AC receptacles, but there are two different hospital grade Leviton outlets that suit the bill. I'm hoping to get folks' opinions as to which one I should go with.
1.
self-grounded outlet2.
isolated ground outletThe only difference is that the more expensive one has an "Isolated ground devices have a grounding terminal that is electronically isolated from the strap to eliminate electrical interference (noise) in grounding networks that can cause problems in modern electronics", while the cheaper one is "self-grounded".
What are people's thoughts on this? Thanks!
