The outlets have ground-fault protection,
but the third prong is ungrounded.
not sure how GFI would function at all without a valid ground, unless
the GFI is wired to neutral, which is dangerous on its own.
As I understand it, GFI sums the currents going into each prong.
If the sum is not close enough to zero, it breaks the circuit.
I thought it monitored the current on the ground pin, and if there is
ANY significant ground current, it disconnects the line and neutral
pins, shutting the socket off..
