In patient care spaces, which type of receptacles is not supposed to connect to an insulated equipment bonding jumper?

Isolated ground receptacles are specifically designed to minimize electrical noise and provide a dedicated ground path that is separate from the building's electrical system. This is crucial in environments like hospitals where sensitive equipment can be affected by electrical interference.

Connecting an insulated equipment bonding jumper to an isolated ground receptacle would counteract its purpose. The insulated ground is meant to provide a cleaner electrical environment by isolating the equipment from ground disturbances that could compromise its function. Therefore, these receptacles should not connect to an insulated equipment bonding jumper, ensuring that the electrical integrity and performance of the sensitive medical equipment are maintained.

In contrast, general purpose, standard, and GFCI receptacles are intended for standard use and do not have the same level of specific grounding requirements, allowing them to utilize bonding jumpers to help maintain safety and proper electrical function.
