Fuse and Power Failure Indicator
Fuse blowing is common problem, but is so tedious to go and check because every time it may not blown. Here is a simple circuit of fuse and power failure indictor,for indicate the power failure by giving alarm. The logic of this circuit is so simple and it also overcome the problem of checking every time.
Circuit Description of fuse and power failure indicator
The entire circuit of fuse and power failure indicator is build and fabricated around LDR, timer IC and LED. Here LED get power-supply from AC source which is stepped down by transformer X1 and further rectified by diode and changed to regulated 6V D.C. with the help of regulator IC 7806 (IC1). Here LED1 and LDR1 are kept in a cabinet together. Transistor T1 and T2 is used as cascade amplifier which amplify the divided voltage from LDR1. Trigger is given to pin no 2 of IC2 from the collector of T2. Here timer IC (IC2) configured as monostable multivibrator and its output is given to reset pin 4 of IC3 which is configured as astable multivibrator. The high output is given for about 7 second from IC2 to IC3. IC3 generate audio frequency and connected to loudspeaker. An alarm sound is produced from fuse and power failure indicator, indicating the power failure.

tell me about the value of T1,T2..
You can use 2n2222 as T1 and T2.
working
tell me about full details this project and components …….plz
This circuit basically indicated the mains power failure.
And you can find the list of components in the article ; and in place of T1 and T2 you can use 2N2222.
Hey bro…i need full description on this projct ..as tmorow i hv to give project summary & report on this project..is it posible fr you to give detailed information?
tell me the capacitor value of c8 .
Thanks for your comment. The parts list have now been updated with the value of C8.
what is the work of S2
why your title is fuse cum power failure indicator??why you used “cum”
