"open ground" on GFCI-protected circuit?

Boy you blow a lot of smoke about everything except what is being discussed.

I am not talking down to you young man, you are doing a good job doing this yourself. All I am trying to do is give you some good factual information to aid you in your career. It is up to you to accept and confirm or continue to believe what you believe.

With highly schooled professionals making mistakes do you think that you could be mistaken yourself or are you saying that this is something you don’t do?

lol…lol…lol…lol…

Do you Canadians have a victims club?

I bet you head up the self inflicted chapter.:roll::roll:

Maybe we should tell Nick that we should change the SOP and not use the handheld tester. While we are at it maybe we should just send in the Electricians to check everything in the Home. I have no problem with that and have done on occasion.
Three prong receptacles can be tested, two prong cannot be tested by a three prong tester and if an electrician does not have **test equipment, **How do you know it is safe?

I’ll call you you if I ever have question. :sarcasm:

I certainly would not call on you Michael.

If you asked me as an electrician to test a GFCI receptacle to see if it is “SAFE” all I am going to do is push the test button.

IF you asked me as a LEVEL III electrical inspector to test a GFCI receptacle to see if it is “SAFE” all I am going to do is push the test button.

If you ask me as a Department of Insurande certified electrical inspector instructor to test a GFCI receptacle to see if it is “SAFE” all I am going to do is push the test button.

If you ask me as a NCBEECC certified electrical instructor to test a GFCI receptacle to see if it is “SAFE” all I am going to do is push the test button.

One more time, it don’t need an EGC to be safe. What makes it safe is the current flowing throung the black and white wires and these two wires ONLY!

Glad to here you don’t use a tester because in the wrong hands it won’t work anyways.

One More Time. The Word Hand-held Is Not Written in the INACHI SOP.

This is the first true statement you have made in this entire thread. You are a prime example of the wrong hands

Not according to the amount of **** electricians have caused here!

:smiley:

Mike you should ask Kevin his opinion of AFCI receptacles; and why he recommends his clients install GFCI’s in bedrooms instead of AFCI’s?

We had a long discussion about this a few weeks ago in another thread.

Good Idea lets dig that one up too!

Somehow that makes me very happy. :slight_smile:

You first. :slight_smile:

Did you forget you just wrote this less than 2 weeks ago?

No I did not! I just can’t test them with the TESTER.

Who’s on first again?

Boy you chew on both sides don’t you? In one thread you say one thing and in another thread you say something entirely different.

Now all doubt has been removed, he is very confused.
