Hello guys
Few ?s
1)In older homes where no ground was installed and outlets were of 2 prongs
is this just hot wire and nuetral when unpolorized and and polorized?
2)If these plugs were modified and replaced with modern 3 prong outlets but the
wiring was not upgraded so being false grounds is this dangerous and why ?
3) Can someone tell me what it means to be a unpolorize plug outlet im guesing in to prong
old outlets both holes are the same size please correct me if i am wrong i just want to get a better understanding of this because i may buy a 1947 home and i know the house has modern outlets but open ground .
Thanks
