Q

Explain why switches are always put in the hot leg of a circuit.

A

If in the hot leg, there will be no electricity connected to the appliance and no shock hazard when working on appliance when switch is off.

A

False.

27
Q

True or False?

The fan-off set point will be reached after the gas valve closes.

A

True.

28
Q

True or False?

When the fan-off set point is reached, the fan stops.

A

True.

29
Q

True or False?
