Grounded outlet with not ground.

[Jack L. Gilleland]

Quick and easy way of writing up grounded outlet with no ground wire in house.

Thanks.

There are one or more 3-slot receptacles used at outlets in this home that when tested indicate an open ground. I see ungrounded 3-slot receptacles as a potential hazard, because there is nothing to prevent the average user from plugging an appliance or convenience item that must have a ground into the receptacle. This can result in a potential shock hazard and/or damage to items that must have grounds.

In a non-GFCI recommended location:
Open ground receptacle was noted. Recommend replacement with a 2-prong receptacle or providing proper ground. Devices/appliance with a 3-prong plug require a ground to reduce the risk of electrical shock and/or damage to sensitive electronics.

In a GFCI location:
Open ground 3-prong receptacles were noted. Recommend upgrading with GFCI protection to reduce the risk of dangerous electrical shocks. Addition of a grounding conductor can further reduce risks.

The use of three-hole ground-type receptacles on a two-wire electrical system gives the impression that safety protection is present in the circuit, when in reality it is not. Older style two-hole receptacles are still available and should be installed to eliminate this false sense of security. Three-hole receptacles may be more convenient (and often less expensive), but are often installed without giving consideration to this situation.
The use of a three-pronged plug in an ungrounded receptacle can be a safety concern. The plug has the grounding provision for a reason and electrical appliances should always be used for the function they were intended to perform.
All such installations should be labeled “No Equipment Ground”on each receptacle that applies. Grounding of all “three-pronged” receptacles or protection with a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) on each is recommended for safety reasons, prior to the close of escrow or after taking possession of the property.
“Two-hole” outlets are not grounded and should never be used with a “three-pronged” plug. Adapters have been devised for this usage, but there is still no adequate ground and such adapters are not always safe. Until the electrical system is upgraded for “three-pronged” usage, it would be prudent to not use adapters, extension cords, or “three-pronged” plugs in any way. Consider that “three-pronged” plugs have been engineered for use with a “three-hole” grounded receptacle.

well said Jae

Thanks all!
Jae I think you just pushed a 17 page report on this little rehab to 18 pages.
Question: Is this printed out on your report in a summary or addendum sheet? The way my software is set up I have to include this as safety information and refer to it in the kitchen section.
Thanks again.
