A grounding-type receptacle is replacing a device on an ungrounded circuit and no grounding path is available. Which approach may be permitted when correctly implemented?
- AInstall a three-prong receptacle with no protection or label
- Use a permitted labeled GFCI replacement method
- CBond the grounding terminal to neutral at the receptacle
- DConnect the grounding terminal to a water faucet
Why B is correct
The applicable GFCI replacement method can improve shock protection but does not create an equipment-grounding conductor and requires labeling. Neutral-ground bonding at the receptacle is improper.
