EXCESS CURRENT DETECTING METHOD FOR ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a new excess current detecting method for electrical equipment where anyone can easily and reliably detect the occurrence of an excess current in the electrical equipment. SOLUTION: An odor-generating can 1 is formed by storing an odor- generating substance 3 in a metal can 2 on which is formed an odor-emitting mouth 4 that is sealed with a lid 5 made of a low melt-point metal. The odor- generating can 1 is installed in electrical equipment 6. The excess current in the electrical equipment 6 can be easily detected by sensing the presence of the odor-generating substance 3 from the odor-generating can 1.
