In my house I set up my ham shack /workbench in the garage. I ran 6/3 awg to a subpanel. From their I have everything in the garage ie washer dryer water heater overhead outlets motion lights flourescant strip lights 240v heater wired with thhn wire ran in 1/2 EMT. I even made sure that the track the garage doors roll up on was bonded to the EMT. Basically anywhere you put a meter in their its going to read .17 ohms even the metal steelcase desk is bonded. Along with the filing cabinet. Now I got those fancy red isolated ground receptacles with the green delta triangle. The ground screw is not connected to the mounting strap on the outlet so your ground wire is isolated except when you connect the ground wire to the ground bar in the subpanel which is connected through the EMT back to the box holding the outlet. Maybe I'm missing the point but how is different from using a regular outlet. And yes I have the neutral bus seperate from the ground bar per NEC. Their probably overkill but since I have them might as well use them.
