When a nongrounded-type receptacle is replaced with a GFCI receptacle that supplies no other outlets, what labeling must be applied to the GFCI?

• A. Not Grounded
• B. No Equipment Ground
• C. No Grounded Conductor
• D. GFCI Protected

Answer: (B)

When you replace a nongrounded receptacle with a GFCI and there’s no equipment grounding conductor, you must label the outlet to warn that there is no grounding path. The required marking is “No Equipment Ground.” This tells the user that, although the GFCI provides protection against ground faults, there is no equipment grounding conductor present. Other labels aren’t appropriate here. “GFCI Protected” would be redundant because the device is the GFCI itself, and phrases like “Not Grounded” or “No Grounded Conductor” aren’t the standard labeling used to convey the absence of an equipment grounding conductor in this scenario.
