What happens here

The video begins with a son bringing his Master Electrician father to a commercial rooftop to provide an estimate for upgrading power for an HVAC unit. The father starts by inspecting a GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) outlet located on the roof. He explains that a service receptacle, often with a light, is required on commercial roofs for maintenance purposes. He notes that this GFCI outlet will need its own separate circuit.

Goal: Identify and evaluate the existing GFCI service outlet
