Hello. I’d like to add a couple more outlets to a bedroom. The existing outlets are wired with old BX cable from the 1930s and test ok for ground. The outlets were grounded to the metal boxes.
1) Am I correct that the bx cable armor should not have been used as a ground with this type of cable? My understanding is that armored cable needs to have a bonding strip in it.
2) Assuming #1 is correct, what’s the correct way to fix this? I’d like to avoid going back to 2-prong outlets.
Thanks
