//B. In rooms where flammable anesthetics are used, mount the equipment so
the bottoms of the enclosures are not less than five feet above the
finished floor.//
C. Branch circuits which are energized by the isolated type electrical
power system shall conform to the following requirements:
1. Article "Impedance of Isolated Wiring", in NFPA 99.
2. Not be grounded but be protected by circuit breakers which have one
pole for each conductor in the circuit.
3. Applicable paragraphs in the Section 16127, CABLES, LOW VOLTAGE (600
VOLTS AND BELOW).
4. Be as short as practicable to minimize the leakage currents.
