Hi -
I have a question about house electrical wiring. This is for a screenplay, so I don't need the details to be specific enough to do on my own, but I'm trying to write a scene as accurately as possible, and would love any descriptions you could provide.
In the film, the power keeps going out in a house, with the the master breaker switch tripping. The main characters call in an electrician.
What is the order in which he'd investigate the problem, and what sort of equipment would we likely to see him use? Assume that at each step, contrary to one's assumption, he does not find the problem, and has to go onto the next step.
I.e.:
1) Checks breaker box with voltmeter. No problem there... 2) Checks outlets individually for short circuits, Etc.Finally, at what point would it start to get complicated?
Thanks very much in advance. I hate when films get this sort of thing wildly wrong.
