3 prong outlet on 2 wire circuit
In my house I have 2 wire circuits, no bare copper. If a 3 prong outlet is used, can you just connect a piece of bare copper from the ground prong to the white neutral side of the outlet? I ask this because in houses that have 3 wire circuits, the white neutral and the bare copper are connected to the same element (bar) in the breaker box which is then tied to the ground element outside.
