The inventive wrist-band voltage detector provides a wearable device for detecting the presence of AC voltage without interference with work activities. Embodiments of the inventive wrist-band voltage detector include monopole aerials positioned in each side of the wrist band. A thin flexible dielectric layer may sit between the aerials and inside of the wrist band, acting as an electrical barrier between the aerials and the user's wrist. The aerials are connected to conventional voltage detector circuitry on a circuit board located on the top side of the wrist band. The circuit board is grounded to the user's wrist, which enhances the circuitry's ability to detect the presence of nearby AC voltage at a safe distance.

The present disclosure relates to a device and a method for diagnosing a failure of an inverter initial charging circuit. The device for diagnosing a failure of an initial charging circuit according to the present invention is advantageous as follows: it is possible to detect whether a relay of the initial charging circuit is malfunctioning or not by using a photocoupler connected in parallel with an initial charging resistor of the initial charging circuit, on the basis that, if a current flows through the initial charging resistor in a relay-on state, the photocoupler is turned on; and it is possible to prevent component failure or burnout from occurring due to a high current flowing through the initial charging resistor in the case of a relay failure.
