No. Unfortunately, this means the house or office whose wall socket you plugged your PowerSquid into is not grounded. This can be the case in older structures built prior to code restrictions mandating electrical grounding. Your PowerSquid’s LED ground indicator illuminates only when the unit is plugged into a properly grounded electrical outlet.
