Hi, John.
Long time...etc.
I can tell you do this for a living!
This is from a neighbor's kitchen that was recently redone.
The photo didn't show the green very well, but the hot did have green on it.
The conductors were from BX. It's too late to find the conductors to check, but the insulation was thicker than what is found in Romex (Is that THHN?). There was no grounding conductor in the cable. Does that confirm THW?
P. S. If this was not in an area being renovated, assuming the overload protection was the correct rating and the device was replaced with a GFCI (as this was in a kitchen), would the BX be considered safe to use? (Does that browned area cause the whole run to be questionable?)
P. P. S. How reliable is a ground on a "self-grounding" device? The box was somewhat corroded.
Pierre:
Do you mean the 75ºC rating?
