Just spent the last two hours trying to figure out why the GFCI my electrician installed in my new building doesn't trip correctly (that includes at trip to the shop to get a new GFCI). I found out that the box it is using as a ground isn't grounded. Another box 2 feet away is grounded just fine and the GFCI housed by it trips under all tests.
What do electricians do in this case ? There's conduit to the box and I'm wondering why it wouldn't be grounded in the first place. I'm thinking of pulling a third copper wire and using that to ground the outlet but that probably isn't the best solution.
Thanks
