Default Re: Can anyone tell me when

Thanks for all the help guys

I have never noticed or reported on the reduced ground wire size just that the system was an older two wire system with ungrounded 3 prong outlets.

I always caution the client regarding sensitive electronic equipment needing a grounded outlet.

BTW I have heard someone recommend a surge protector for the computer or big screen TV. Will that protect them if plugged into an ungrounded outlet?

Cheers
