My neighbor is selling his house in NJ and was told by a house
inspector that he has to have a GFCI by the stove and by the sink in
his 50 year old Cape Cod house.
The house has NO ground wire on the Romex since it was built.
I was always led to believe that even if you have a GFCI with NO GROUND
WIRE that you have SOME PROTECTION.
In other words, ONLY 2 WIRES - BLACK AND WHITE are connected to the
GFCI.
Would this hookup - only 2 wires and NO ground - meet a NJ home
inspection requirement ??
What about a GFCI BREAKER for the entire circuit ???
Pass inspection ???
TIA
Here in NY, a GFCI has to be installed on an outlet that has an open ground.
In effect, the GFCI acts as they safety. I'd say the house inspector is
right.
