Hello,
I have a flat/apartment in a building as described in the subject. I am wondering what to do about the current and additional outlets to have them be safe for kids.
The options:
-Replace fuse box with circuit breakers
-Run ground wiring and connect it to neutral at the junction boxes
-Run ground cables and connect it to whatever there is in the main apartment/flat box(whether it be neutral or a ground)
I am wondering if it makes any sense to install circuit breakers if there is no proper grounding coming up from the basement’s main electrical box.
A previous 1930’s apartment/flat was renovated by an electrical firm where they ran ground to the apartment/flat’s main box and connected it to neutral. The current grounded outlets (a couple in the flat/apartment) have ground connected to neutral at the outlet. Note that the lights and outlets are combined together on the same fuses.
