I have an old (1960s) apartment with 2 prong ungrounded outlets.
Questions:
A) If I open the outlets and there is no grounding wire, and then add a GFCI outlet, this will protect me from electrical shocks, but won't protect my computer from surges.
So: could I add a whole house surge protector at the service box? The service box uses fuses.
B) If I open the outlets and there is no grounding wire, how difficult would it to wire grounding wire from the outlet to the service box? Does an electrician have to do it? Any special gauged wire or precautiions necessary? Do I have to wire it inside walls?
C) If I add a GFCI breaker to the service box, will this function as a properly "grounded" GFCI and allow any computers on the circuit to be protected by surge protector strips?
Thank you.
