Question 3:
Suppose an engineer designed a fire alarm system for a large warehouse, with multiple
pushbutton switches connected to a single alarm siren:

Actuating any of the normally-open switches results in the alarm sounding. So far, so good.
Now, suppose that one of the wires connecting one side of several switches to the rest of
the circuit breaks open. What will the result of this failure be?
Siren
break!

- 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.
