Well, If I were to start from the beginning, I would find more, but i found a couple of oopsies in an epside. Since I did not see another thread for MacG, I will start this one:
Season 1 Episode 8: "Corkscrew"
I am an electrician and I saw 2 mistakes. One is that the art gallery where he pulls wire out of the wall, there are two things wrong with that.
One: Wire must be secured with in 8 inches of a box and the wire can't have been that long and loose in the wall.
Two: Romex would not have been used, but rather, at worst, flex conduit AKA MC lite. That being a commercial building would require it.
The second scene was when he was locked in the room at the foundation. whenhe pulled wires out of the room's socket.
A, that gfci/afci would have had power in what is considered High voltage at 110-125 volts ac,the key pad was low voltage 90 volts or less. You can not put the two in that close proximity in the wall. once again,the wire should have been in some sort of conduit but would most likely be in intermediate thickness for security sake.
The box itself for the outlet would have been solidly attached to the stud, most likely steel as it is a commercial building, once again, and held with sheet metal screws. not easily removed at all.
So, any one else catch a Mac-oopsy?
edit: A third one: The cb from the truck is run off of the truck's voltage 24 volts or 12 volts -either way it is DC - The box he got power from was AC, probably 240volts. That would have
A] fried the cb immediately due to the voltage being so high-given that it was a junkyard, it could have been 480-3 phase even
B] not worked as it was ac power to a dc device with no converter.
