Do you know how many houses in the U.S. have ungrounded systems? -- What is allowed by code and what is safe are two different issues."It was in 1984 that a new provision was provided to put 3 prong outlets on un-grounded system if GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) receptacle was used.
And the fact remains, that any circuit with no ground, whether it has a 2 prong ungrounded receptacle or the ground lifted on a grounded 3 prong receptacle, with GFCI protection, is much safer than your Grounded 3 prong receptacle with no GFCI on the Circuit.
