Abstract: A surge reduction filter (SRF) includes a cartridge having a cartridge housing, a first active connection point for connection to an active line of an AC power supply, and a neutral connection point for connection to a neutral line of the AC power supply. The active and neutral connection points are located to be accessible from outside the cartridge. A first fuse and a first surge protection element are electrically connected in series between the active and neutral connection points. A status circuit is connected to monitor the surge protection element and an indicator is connected to the status circuit to indicate at least a normal status and a fault status of the surge protection element. The status circuit detects a change in voltage at a point between the fuse and the protection element and creates a fault indication if a voltage change is detected due to the fuse operating.
