What if I only have two cables and no ground? It’s an old house

Does the breaker have to be on to test?

[@OnTheGoKRO]

Yes. But don’t rely on break. Rely on the probes. Relying on just breaker for maintenance will eventually fail you and shock you or kill you. So always rely on the probe, breaker kills power but sometimes you just don’t know who has rigged shi up so always test
