Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Technical Questions Surge Protection

Oh, I'm not afraid of working with the electrical (what breaker? I have fuses, man...), but I'm not sure about the solution you're suggesting. No offense meant.

No offense taken. I'd be a little leary trying something like this learned off of a forum too. But my brother taught me this. He was a lineman for the local utility company. I have about 4 or 5 outlets wired this way and the surge protectors report back that I have a ground.

YOU'RE GROUNDED, Go to your room!!

I have one outlet that was only two prong. I did the same thing as Brian suggested (years ago). It was taught to me by an electrician also. It tests out good when I use my outlet tester.

I'm having an electrician install a new breaker box, breakers and grounding rod this Saturday for around $550. He's going to use double breakers where 2 15 amp breakers fit into a single breaker slot. I don't know exactly how many left over slots I'll have. He said 4, but I told him I'm going to need more than that, so I'll have to wait and see what I end up with.
