No EGC on feeder to sub panel

[gadfly56]

AFAIK it was never legal in the same structure, but was not uniformly enforced.

The OP says the sub is in the garage. It doesn't sound like the main panel is there so it's not a "same structure" situation.

What does this mean then?

Yes, garage is in same structure

Hi,

It's been awhile since I've been on this site. I ran into a situation where customer wants to change out a small Edison fuse panel (two 30 amp fuses) and replace it with a small breaker panel. This sub panel is in the garage and there is no way to replace the feeder without tearing out drywall. The current fuse panel has no EGC and no EGC within 10/3 NM. The panel is not grounded. The branch circuits have no EGC either. Another electrician suggested putting a gfci breaker on the existing feeder in main panel. Just wondering what your thoughts are. Thanks

Cleveland, is the cable completely covered in the walls?

Can you see it that it is NM or is there a chance it is old BX?

Old feeder disappears in a wall perpendicular and all covered with drywall back to MP. What sucks is there's no basement and MP is located on other side house on first floor. I'm probably going to run pvc conduit from garage to outside of house and back to MP

Definitely not old BX

Definitely not old BX

Understood, just a thought if you could only see it inside each panel.
