I would like to make an indicator to show that DC bus (700VDC) capacitors are charged (be careful!).



What is the best way to make a LED indicator, which will work for a long time from 40VDC to 1000VDC without additional power supply and with minimum power losses?

Keep in mind that questions about optimization (i.e., "What is the best ...?") require a definition about what problem dimensions are to be optimized for your application, such as size, speed, energy consumption, user experience, etc. Since these can't be optimized all at once, you need to have a good idea of which ones are most important to you, and be able to articulate that clearly to us.

Connect a moving coil analog voltmeter across the power bus.



Either a voltmeter as shown with internal series resistor or an external resistor
and scale calibrated for the desired range. Photo from this useless site.



Old-school suppliers such as Crompton should be able to supply a meter with the markings you need, if not a turnkey solution.

    Probably the best solution. Only maybe R1 should be 10 M or even more, and the cap under 1uF. Also there are LEDs with 100X light output than the listed one, so R2 can be increased too, which would save power.

example of a reliable economical no-power-supply (< $10) indicator solution that does not cost > $200 like the other meters. :(



Since this coil draws 50uA full scale it is equivalent to 10V/50uA= 200kOhm. and thus at 1kV the R load is 50 mW full scale with 1kV/50uA = 20MOhm 1% or +/-200kOhm.

It also draws the least current and is readily available.

    Another potential option is to use a neon bulb or lamp. The common neon indicator that I used to use is the NE-2H - this has fairly-wide current capability and would be able to handle the current range of caused by the supply voltage changing from less than 100V up to 1000V.



    The downside is that a neon indicator does not match your requirement of indicating down to 40 Vdc. The NE-2H extinguishes (after being lit) at about 60 Vdc.



    NE-2 & NE-2H indicators are still readily available. There are also much larger neon bulbs and lamps but they may not be readily available any longer. But you can check.



    Final downside of a neon indicator is that they do die after an extended time. You have to weigh the consequences of the indicator failing some time in the future. Do note that they fail "gracefully" - they don't fail completely at one time, but rather, degrade. You would use that degradation as an indication that the lamp needs to be replaced.

      I had considered suggesting a simple neon relaxation oscillator but the downside is that the minimum operating voltage would be about 90 Vdc. But it doesn't get much simpler than that - and remains quite visible even with low supply voltage.

      Will the neon work on DC power?

    • $begingroup$
      Yes. Neon works well on DC supply. However, only one electrode illuminates. Neon relaxation oscillator works only with DC power. But minimum operating voltage for relaxation oscillator is the firing voltage of the neon bulb - about 90 Vdc for NE-2H.

      Probably the best solution. Only maybe R1 should be 10 M or even more, and the cap under 1uF. Also there are LEDs with 100X light output than the listed one, so R2 can be increased too, which would save power.

      I normally use very-high-brightness LEDs. The part number on my schematic is simply what the built-in CAD package has as a default.

      You have to keep the discharge current high enough to ensure that the diac switches cleanly from conducting to not conducting. In other words, R2 has to remain fairly low value. But higher brightness is better anyway.

    example of a reliable economical no-power-supply (< $10) indicator solution that does not cost > $200 like the other meters. :(



    Since this coil draws 50uA full scale it is equivalent to 10V/50uA= 200kOhm. and thus at 1kV the R load is 50 mW full scale with 1kV/50uA = 20MOhm 1% or +/-200kOhm.

    It also draws the least current and is readily available.

            Another potential option is to use a neon bulb or lamp. The common neon indicator that I used to use is the NE-2H - this has fairly-wide current capability and would be able to handle the current range of caused by the supply voltage changing from less than 100V up to 1000V.



            The downside is that a neon indicator does not match your requirement of indicating down to 40 Vdc. The NE-2H extinguishes (after being lit) at about 60 Vdc.



            NE-2 & NE-2H indicators are still readily available. There are also much larger neon bulbs and lamps but they may not be readily available any longer. But you can check.



            Final downside of a neon indicator is that they do die after an extended time. You have to weigh the consequences of the indicator failing some time in the future. Do note that they fail "gracefully" - they don't fail completely at one time, but rather, degrade. You would use that degradation as an indication that the lamp needs to be replaced.

              I had considered suggesting a simple neon relaxation oscillator but the downside is that the minimum operating voltage would be about 90 Vdc. But it doesn't get much simpler than that - and remains quite visible even with low supply voltage.
