Im trying to figure out what the best way to detect a failure of a 120 Vac fan motor. Mainly a burnt open windings situation. I was thinking about maybe having a light thats on to indicate fan is still running and it goes off when motor fails. This motor is inside an enclosed oven measuring 7.5" x 7.5" the temperature in ove reaches 100 to 140 degrees celcius. i have acces to the wires for line and nuetral wires on outside of oven box. i was thinking maybe putting a bridge rectifier circuit in series with line voltage to power a LED so if windings burn open dc voltage to LED quits thus shutting off LED. Also maybe a relay type sensor in line? Im not sure looking for advice or insight from people with experience. thanks for replying.
