homnspector Posted July 9, 2006 Report Share Posted July 9, 2006 This is actually a trick question. If you consider electricity as a stream, it must run downhill as a stream does, so both A and B may be true. Receptacles on either side of the GFCI receptacle can be protected by the receptacle. Physical positioning has nothing to do with how it is wired, so C may be true. A receptacle uphill of the GFCI receptacle can also be protected, assuming "uphill" is a physical position of the receptacle, so D may be true. Typical BS question with not enough information to make the correct choice. Obviously, the answer is E, all of the above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DonTx Posted July 9, 2006 Report Share Posted July 9, 2006 Funny that question should pop up. I surfed over to NACHI last night to see how much 'tougher' the entrance exam was, that question was on the first page. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
