<p>A blown circuit breaker indicator is used with a conventional circuit breaker (9). The blown circuit breaker indicator includes a circuit including a light emitting diode (50), in series with a second switch (57) and a grounded connection (55) that diverts the flow of current away from the load (49) that allegedly caused the overload condition of breaker (9) with the light emitting diode being positioned at the front (12) of the casing (10) for the circuit breaker (9) so as to provide a visible indication of when the circuit has been blown. In one embodiment, the light emitting diode (50) will be activated by a second switch (57) when the circuit has been blown, and in the other embodiment, which contemplates the use of a plurality of circuit breakers, the light will be deactivated by a second switch (57) on only those circuit breakers that have been blown. </p> |
