homnspector Posted September 28, 2005 Report Share Posted September 28, 2005 I inspected a 90 year old 3-plex today. The electrical system had been "upgraded". The electrician completely rewired one unit in metal conduit. Ran hots and neutrals but no grounds back to the main panel. Outlets tested as grounded so I am thinking he is using the conduit for grounding. Is this kosher? Seems not but if anyone can tell me for sure, I appreciate it.

kurt Posted September 28, 2005 Report Share Posted September 28, 2005 Yes. It works. Personally, I prefer it. It's standard issue in Chicago; we can't use Romex. Everything is in rigid, greenfield, or AC. No seperate grounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
