Power control apparatus

摘要

In this power control apparatus, a current flowing in a main current (201) is detected by a current transformer (202) and a zero-phase current transformer (203), provided in the main circuit. A value of this current is provided to a CPU (214) included in an intelligent controller (207). A maximum peak value and the like are evaluated by the CPU to be compared with predetermined set values. If those values are equal to or higher than the set values, an excitation signal is applied to a tripping device (205) to release a latch by a latch scheme (206) and thus to trip the circuit breaker. The CPU alters the set value when supplied with a setting alteration instruction from a central monitor (40), and causes the circuit breaker to be tripped when supplied with a stop instruction therefrom.
