I saw something from a IEEE standard that discouraged the use of "isolated ground" or "isolated grounding receptacle", with the preferred terminology being "insulated ground" and insulated grounding receptacle". Now I know the NEC uses "isolated" and in some rare instances "insulated" to refer to grounding conductors. Have you ever heard anyone in industry use the IEEE preferred terminology? Does this preferred terminology really convey the same idea? When I think of an insulated grounding conductor, the thought it convey is to cover the bare conductor with insulation.
