Abstract
A holder for an electric fuse is provided with a Hall-effect sensor arrangement which is integrally mounted in the fuse holder in close proximity to the current path through the holder. The Hall-effect sensor provides an output voltage responsive to the magnetic field resulting from the flow of current along the current path. The output from the Hall sensor is then processed to provide an indication of whether current is flowing through the fuse holder.
