Went to a rental of ours today for a tripping breaker. Breaker was hot and the wire was baked on the 15 amp ckt. I asked the guy if they were running an electric heater and they were. OK fine, I cut the wire back to clean and replaced the breaker. I put my amp meter on the ckt and it was drawing just under 3 amps. I told them to turn everything off and unplug what could be unplugged. It's still drawing 3 amps. It's a duplex and I had some dirtbags in the other side and am wondering if they were ambitious enough to go into the attic and tap into this circuit? I'm going back tomorrow to verify that all loads in the place are off. Anyone got any other ideas where this load is if I verify that everything is off? Seems like 3 amps of resistance in a connection somewhere would make itself known.
