Surge protector outlet

So I found these cool surge protector outlets from Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Leviton-7280-W-Suppressor-Receptacle-Industrial/dp/B001FB64JE/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1320368004&sr=8-8
They function like a surge strip but without the clutter. I used one under the home for the gate opener to protect it.


So these are more pictures than are necessary but I was curious about how it hooked up before I bought it. You wire it the same as a normal outlet but if you want the ground to be isolated you just run a seperate grounding conductor back to the panel from this instead of using the one that goes to the other outlets on the circuit.
