If the wiring system into which you are installing an outlet has no ground available, use an ungrounded outlet. In an ungrounded system, an outlet with a ground contact would allow the outlet user to mistakenly, and perhaps dangerously, assume that a ground was present. A suitable ground may be available as a ground wire accompanying the hot and neutral wires in the cable, or a ground may be available via conductive conduit and a metal outlet box. In any case, use a tester to confirm the integrity of the assumed ground. A voltage test from the hot wire to the ground should show the same voltage as between hot and neutral (the black and white wires respectively). If you are replacing an ungrounded outlet, you need not assume there is no ground present. You may find, in the box, ground wires that were not connected to the outlet. You may come across grounded outlets that have no ground wire attached because they rely on grounding via the mounting screws through the outlet ears to the metal box. This is a less reliable grounding method. It is better to buy a ground-wire "pigtail," fasten the wire directly to a hole in the metal box with the supplied screw, and attach the other end of the ground wire to the outlet via the outlet's ground screw.

For a home, to calculate the amount of receptacle outlets on a 15 amp circuit, each receptacle outlet should be calculated as not drawing more than one amp each.
If there is no ground wire connect the ground wire to the neutral wire.
The size breaker you use is determined by the size wire used in the circuit. If you use AWG #12/2 wire then use a 20 amp breaker. If you use AWG # 14/2 then use a 15 amp breaker.
The unit will run but you may get shocked by touching it, now or sometime in the future.
Change the outlet to a grounded one. Get an adapter that goes from 3 prong to 2. Break the ground prong off. Any one of these will work.
Answer for USA, Canada and countries running a 60 Hertz supply service.If you replace an ungrounded outlet with a grounded outlet, the tester should show an open ground indication. The left light will be the only lamp that will light up. Install either another ungrounded outlet or a GFCI receptacle.. Before you do any work yourself,on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances,always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energizedIF YOU ARE NOT REALLY SURE YOU CAN DO THIS JOBSAFELY AND COMPETENTLYREFER THIS WORK TO QUALIFIED PROFESSIONALS.
You can use a wire tester to check for a ungrounded wire. Attached the wire tester to the battery posts. The tester will show you if the ground is weak or strong.
Yes. The outlet on the stove should be rated to 15A 110V.

Refrigerant should be removed from the condenser outlet when:
The only way to get ungrounded after sneaking out is to talk to the person who grounded you. They may not lift your punishment no matter what.
"ungrounded" = floating.
