.......The problem I'm having is this......
I put in GFI's in systems that for one reason or another have no grounding at the 1900 box. Sometimes it's a real pain-in-the-ass to establish a ground to this location. The home inspector or the village inspector comes in....plugs in his red tester....and says: "no ground! can't pass it."
So I have to 'find' the reason for the "no ground" condition or cheat a ground wire from a cold water pipe to the box or in some cases tear the walls open because the EMT has seperated in the wall or the compression fitting has come undone or whatever the reason is.
Another electrician told me there was a way to wire the GFI with no ground present so that it "passes" the inspector. If it works and truly is safe I want to know about it so I don't have to hassle with inspectors or tear walls open or cheat a ground.
