A security apparatus adapted to a power converter, including a power converting circuit connected between a DC power source and an AC system; a phase detector circuit for detecting the voltage phase of the AC system to provide a phase detection signal; a reference signal generator circuit for generating a voltage reference in accordance with the phase detection signal; a control circuit for controlling an output voltage of the power converting circuit in accordance with the voltage reference. The security apparatus is characterized by a disturbance generator circuit for applying a disturbance to the phase detector circuit; and a detector circuit for detecting an abnormal state in which the phase or frequency of the output voltage of the power converting circuit deviates from a normal one.
