Abstract :By measuring the voltage drop on the fuses in vehicles with a multimeter and using the fuse voltage drop cards, it is possible to determine the current drawn by the load based on the color, type, and current value listed on the fuse label. Arduino is a family of microcontroller development devices that are utilized in numerous digital system design applications. In this study, a fuse current analyzer is proposed for measuring the voltage drop across the fuses in a vehicle using an Arduino development board and obtaining the load current. The developed current analyzer can be utilized in automotive electricity and electronics courses, circuit studies, and for determining whether the fuse value on vehicles is sufficient and detecting load current leakage. The proposed system is tested on vehicle fuses, and an approximate 4% mean error rate is determined. This system can be used to perform tests in automotive electrical laboratories, or it can be implemented in the classroom to give students hands-on experience.
