On this subject of grounding:
My house is built of concrete and brick. It was meant to be Atomic Bomb
proof. Many of the walls are poured concrete. It was built in 1965
when 3 wire electrical systems were not required by building codes. All
the wiring is 2 wire except for a couple of wall plugs. I have no idea
why some are three wire, but I suspect (though I haven't yet looked)
that they are not three wire, but only plug plates installed because the
previous owner had a grounded plug that he needed to use and didn't want
to use an adapter. I have often wanted to rewire the house but it
cannot be done economically since the wires are "poured in" They cannot
be pulled out!!!
Is there any way to make a two wire system safe at all times??? Details
please.
