DC GFCI [RE-wrenches]

[Travis Creswell, Ozark Solar]

Exactly Drake, that's what I'm talking about!
  
Others please draw the line diagram out, but really it's so basic you don't
need to. You 'd better not anyway.  Lets make it really simple since I'm not
on any code committees.  Compare it to a light switch where you are pulling
a switch leg from the fixture.  If you turn the switch off does that make it
safe to cut through the wire coming from the light fixture?
