In autotransformer input circuits, each input line should be:
Fused
A helpful piece of information to have when revising a control circuit is the _____ wire or relay number. This information keeps you from having to hunt through the schematic.
Last
The ____ circuit of an electrical schematic is the simplest part of the diagram and the easiest to follow.
