I have installed a GFCI breaker the main panel which feeds a circuit that serves two bedrooms. This was done so I could replace all the old non grounded two prong receptacles with standard three prong receptacles. There is no ground in the circuit wiring. My dilemma is, how do I test the GFCI, at the receptacles, if I have no ground to test it to?
In a grounded circuit I can put my wiggy between hot and ground and that will trip a GFCI. But, in this situation there is no ground to test too? Do have to run a test wire to a earth ground in a nearby bathroom?
Thanks
Tom
