Semi OT Electrical Question
You are allowed to install a GFCI outlet with no ground connection to
provide a 3 prong outlet when no ground is available.
Yes, it is a 3 prong outlet, but it is the same as breaking the ground off
the plug; the ground on the GFCI is not connected to anything.
Off hand I can't think of anywhere this distinction would matter, except for
a possible nuisance trip.
