I'm trying to implement relays bypass, which I don't have much experience with. I'm not sure what best practice is.
I came up with the circut below.
My thinking is:
- The indicator LED in series with the relay coil piggy-backs onto the current required to energize the relay.
- The Mosfet makes it so very little current flows through the bypass switch.
- The voltage divider at the gate of the mosfet reduces the "on" gate voltage input to a comfy 6v. I think I could get rid of it though, as the bs170 has a gate-source voltage of 20v.
Does it make sense to do it this way?
