Abstract
A fail safe redundancy circuit for controlling a gas valve relay in a gas fired furnace or similar burner is disclosed. The status of the relay contacts is monitored and if those contacts are in the position for enabling the gas valve prior to an ignition attempt, a gate is enabled to shunt the control side of a circuit breaking device such as a fuse to overload that device causing it to kick out or open and interrupt power to the circuit thus disabling the burner. The burner combustion chamber is purged of any accumulated gas after the circuit breaker has been opened.
