I am all for safer! So, i am in one of those circa 1940-50's built home that is two wire (hot,neutral only that comes into each receptacle box) I have been reading up on this.. They say there is several ways to accomplish a safer/ ground for your two wire electrical circuits. 1. re-wire the house with a cable that has a ground wire in it,2. GFCI breakers,3. GFCI all receptacles,or 4. Wire up a GFCI receptacle so it protects other receptacles on that given circuit.
2. Would be the easiest to do kinda pricy ,but unfortunately they do not make a GFCI breaker for the type breaker box i have.
3. I am likeing this idea. (i can get in lots of 10 gfci receptacles for $35 to $39
4. Is great to, but for instance on a give circnuit according to the circuit directory on the breaker panel says a particular circuit might be in the bedroom and living room....,and if the gfci trips all power in those other rooms goes off.(Which can make it an inconveniance of sorts at times.)Oh,now my question...lol What is the best/safest way to go of #3 and 4 above?
And how does one go about determining/locating the first receptacle in a circuit.?
Thanks to all!
