Curt, This is exactly what I was pointing out. With out the EGC being present a typical analyzer will probably not work. The $100 Hubble variable level type or a iso tester such as Bio Tek makes would probably do the task.

Now, if in fact you need a conductor run from the neighbors house to test the GFCI, are we going to have it there when the actual event takes place?

This is my point, if it adds no more protection than any other two wire device, did the manufacturers push this requirement through?
