Final answer:

False. Multiple disconnects are needed if one disconnect is not in sight of the controller, motor, or driven machinery.

Step-by-step explanation:

False. Multiple disconnects are needed if one disconnect is not in sight of the (1) controller, (2) motor, or (3) driven machinery.

In a circuit, a disconnect is an electrical switch that can be used to isolate a specific section of the circuit from the main power source. The purpose of a disconnect is to ensure the safety of personnel by allowing them to easily de-energize and isolate a specific section of the circuit. If one disconnect is in sight of the controller, motor, and driven machinery, it may be sufficient to ensure the safety of personnel by allowing them to easily de-energize the entire circuit from that location. However, if the disconnect is not in sight, separate disconnects will be needed to ensure the safety of personnel.
