SLC Circuits with Isolators NFPA Class A SLC Using Isolator Modules
4.3  NFPA Class A SLC Using Isolator Modules
A variation of Class A operation using isolator modules to protect a section of the SLC. By flanking each group of devices with an I300 
fault isolator module, each group is protected from faults that may occur in the other groups. For example, a fault in Section B will not 
effect Sections A & C. The isolator modules on either side of Section B will open the loop. Section A will still operate from power on the 
SLC Out side and Section C will operate from the SLC Return side.
• A combination of isolator modules and isolator bases may be used.
• T-tapping is NOT allowed within the Class A configuration.
• Isolator modules shall be within 20 feet (6.1 meters) of device and must be enclosed in metal conduit.
