Quick Question
    #5461660 - 03/30/06 09:03 PM (17 years, 9 months ago)

Moving into my new apartment and noticed that the majority of my electrical outlets are 2 pronged only. No 3rd prong ground. Is there any danger of buying adapters that go from 3 prongs to 2 prongs? I'm worried about my entertainment center, which has lots of electric devices. How safe is it to have a surge protector plugged into an 3to2 prong plugin adapter, loaded with electronic equipment?

Thanks in advance.

Well, that's not very safe. At least invest in a couple surge power strips, and make sure that you aren't overloading your circuits amperage wise. If you are real concerned, or if you have anything related to water (aquarium, hydroponic set-up), install a GFCI and wire the ground back to either a water pipe or the circuit breaker board. But I'm not an electrician...

Sorry, I meant to say I was adding adapters to a few nice surge protectors that I have. And yes, I'll be having an acquarium setup, but I think that should be fine.

Quit being lazy...  Cut open the wall and add an extra ground wire. :thumbup:
