With 3-phase line voltage applied, Model BFA flashes normal LED green light for positive indication of good fuse and integrity of wire connection to each side of fuse. Indicator flashes red fault LED when fuse is unconnected or open, if there is lost connection to either side of fuse, and if mismatched line/load wires are present. When phase loss occurs, both fault and normal LEDs will extinguish. Mounted externally to panel, product can be used for all UL Fuses Class H/J/K/R/RK.
