Fuse Failure Indicator

This circuit indicates when a device is functioning or when
its fuse has blown. It is a development of the Mains/Fuse
Failure Indicator published in
Elektor Electronics
July/August 1995. It is smaller and cheaper than the previ-
ous design, even though it works on any mains supply volt-
age. A single bi-colour LED (D2) with separate anode con-
nections indicates
operating
(green) or
fuse failure
(red).
Resistor R1 limits the current through the LED to around
2 mA: the LED is thus reasonably bright. If higher bright-
ness is desired, the resistor value can be reduced.
The zener diode prevents the red and green LEDs from
lighting simultaneously in normal operation. With the fuse
intact, the LEDs are effectively in parallel, but the greater
voltage drop in the red LED’s arm of the circuit means that
only the green LED lights. General-purpose diodes D3 and
D4 prevent damage to the LEDs in the negative half-cycle of
the AC supply. If the circuit is used on a DC supply, the

diodes can be removed.
If the circuit is used to monitor the fuse on mains-oper-
ated equipment, it is vital to note that the components are
not isolated from the mains and the voltages present on
them can be lethal: do not touch!
