Textbook Question
Chapter 26, Problem 16R
Circle the correct answer from the following statements:
- a. Always connect a fire alarm circuit or system to a power supply that has ground-fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protection.
- b. Never connect a fire alarm circuit or system to a power supply that has ground-fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protection.
- c. It makes no difference whether the branch circuit is GFCI or AFCI protected because the alarms are required to have battery backup power. In the event of a loss of power for whatever reason, the alarms would still be operative.
