Installing a outlet for microwave.?

Question

I am installing an outlet in a metal box for a microwave using existing 2-wire bx cable. The condo has emt throughout. Is the outlet considered grounded?

Answer 1

The jacket of the BX cable is the ground as it should carry through to the breaker box.  That means you should run a green or bare wire from the ground connection on your outlet to the metal box to pick up your ground.  Once wired, check the circuit for a good ground.
