Not sure how safe it would be on the line side of the xfmr. If there was room inside the equipment the components could be wired in down stream of the equipment fusing. If built as an outboard device I would recommend the circuit/components be installed a a metal enclosure. If the components were mounted well insulated from the enclosure, (double insulated) I don't think there would be any need for fusing ahead of the components. After all the circuit/components are in series with the load. No chance of a hot to neutral short circuit. Worse that could happen is an open circuit.
One other thing that has to be considered is heat generated from the diodes.

Whats your thoughts?

There should not be significant heat from the diodes. - Al Sekela 15:08:38 01/11/08 (0)

Could be caused from DC offset on the power line. - jea48 20:08:40 01/10/08 (0)
