On a school modernization during plan review, a grounding-type receptacle is installed on an ungrounded circuit without an equipment grounding path; what is an allowed strategy when properly implemented?
- AAttach ground to a water faucet
- BLeave a false equipment-ground indication
- Use a permitted labeled GFCI replacement
- DConnect ground to neutral at the receptacle
Why C is correct
GFCI protection can be an allowed replacement approach with labeling, but it does not create an equipment-grounding conductor and neutral-ground bonding downstream is improper. The best answer is therefore “Use an applicable GFCI replacement method with required labeling.” The other choices either address a different system, rely on an unsafe shortcut, or make a conclusion not supported by the stated facts.
