   I have a water pump in a remote location. Sometimes the pump (120 volts) line   
   springs a leak and then runs all the time with the potential of burning out   
   pump. I want to build a little circuit that will tell me in my house if it is   
   running. I have in the    
   past build and induction coil out of a transformer and then used an LED to   
   light up when the pump is on. I cut out one of the sides of the transformer   
   then run a few winds of the power wire around the transformer that I cut the   
   secondary wires from. It    
   produces enough power to light an led.    
      
   However I would like to try another method. I have two ideas but I need a   
   circuit diagram and instructions to do it.   
      
   One person mentioned to me the use of a Shunt. I have read up on shunts, and   
   as far as I can see there is some potential here. Does anyone have a diagram   
   that might be able to use a shunt. To light either an LED, or Neon bulb, or   
   even Incandecent lamp.   
      
      
   Remember the point is not that there is power in the line, but it is to tell   
   me that the pump is actually drawing current.
