By using fundamental principals of electricity "The Power
Indicating Plug, Cord, Switch or Receptacle" provides an indication
to the user that current is flowing to the device plugged in or
switched on. This invention can be used with any number of
voltages and current loads. One example of an immediate use is to
insert the new device between the source of 115Vac power and the
block heater of a vehicle, thus giving clear indication on a cold
winter day that the block heater is in fact operating.
En utilisant les principes fondamentaux de l'électricité, "L'indicateur de courant pour fiche, cordon, interrupteur ou prise de courant" indique à l'utilisateur si le courant circule dans le dispositif qui est branché ou sur lequel on est branché. Cette invention peut servir avec toute variété de tensions et de charges de courant. On peut par exemple insérer le nouveau dispositif entre la source de courant alternatif 115 V et le chauffe-bloc d'un véhicule pour obtenir une indication claire, lors des jours froids d'hiver, que le chauffe-bloc fonctionne bel et bien.
