He wrote,



"In a house that has ungrounded, 2 prong outlets, with wiring in good

condition, is it acceptable (and allowed by current electrical code) to run

a separate ground wire from the outlets back to the ground at the panel, in

order to be able to replace the 2 prong outlets with 3 prong outlets?

Existing wiring is in very good shape."



Thanks.


*Article 250.130(C) in the National Electrical Code gives the options, but the short answer is yes.
