NFPA Style 6 SLC Using Isolator Modules SLC Circuits with Isolators
4.3 NFPA Style 6 SLC Using Isolator Modules
A variation of Style 6 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 Style 6 configuration.
• Isolator modules shall be within 20 feet (6.1 meters) of device and must be enclosed in metal
conduit.
