    This document describes a blown fuse indicator circuit that uses LEDs to indicate the status of a fuse. When the fuse is intact, the green LED will illuminate, and the red LED will remain off. If the fuse blows, the red LED will illuminate instead, indicating the fuse needs replacement. The circuit uses few, inexpensive components and can be easily modified to activate a siren when the fuse blows. Additional information is provided on obtaining the circuit documentation, presentation, hardware kit, and contacting the supplier for assistance with projects.

    blown fuse indicator

    enerally, when an equipment indicates no power, the cause may be just a blown fuse. Here is a circuit that shows the condition of fuse through LEDs. This compact circuit is very useful and reliable. It uses very few components, which makes it inexpensive too. Under normal conditions (when fuse is alright), voltage drop in first arm is 2V + (2 x 0.7V) = 3.4V, whereas in

    second arm it is only 2V. So current flows through the second arm, i.e. through the green LED, causing it to glow; whereas the red LED remains off. When the fuse blows off, the supply to green LED gets blocked, and because only one LED is in the circuit, the red LED glows. In case of power failure, both LEDs remain off. This circuit can be easily modified to produce a siren in fuse-blown condition

    (see Fig. 2). An optocoupler is used to trigger the siren. When the fuse blows, red LED glows. Simultaneously it switches on the siren. In place of a bicolour LED, two LEDs of red and green colour can be used. Similarly, only one diode in place of D1 and D2 may be used. Two diodes are used to increase the voltage drop, since the two LEDs may produce different voltage drops.
