2. Description of the Related Art The applicant has developed a high-frequency constant-current power supply system in which a high-frequency constant-current power supply is used to supply power to a discharge tube using a current transformer, and has already been registered as a utility model. Refer to Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. Sho 64-5360, "Wireless Discharge Tube Lighting Equipment". An outline thereof will be described with reference to FIG. 3. A single power supply line 12 connected to a high-frequency constant current power supply 11 is allowed to pass a current transformer 13, and its secondary winding 14 is directly connected to both terminals of a discharge tube 15. It was done,
Before the discharge tube 15 starts discharging, no current flows in the secondary winding 14, so that the iron core of the current transformer 13 is saturated and a voltage higher than the discharge starting voltage of the discharge tube 15 appears in the secondary winding 14. After the discharge tube 15 starts discharging due to this voltage, a constant current corresponding to the number of turns of the secondary winding 14 flows.

However, the discharge tube 15 may be broken or the discharge tube 1
When 5 is removed, a voltage higher than the discharge voltage of the discharge tube 15 appears in the secondary winding 14 of the current transformer 13, so if the terminal of the secondary winding 14 is accidentally touched when replacing the discharge tube. There is a drawback that there is a risk of electric shock and that the magnetic flux increases and the iron loss remarkably increases, which is dangerous if the transformer is overheated and left as it is.

When the current transformer cutout is connected between the current transformer and the load, the short-circuiting circuit is generated by the output appearing in the secondary winding of the load current detecting transformer when current is flowing through the load. However, if the load of the current transformer becomes open for some reason, the output of the secondary winding of the load current detection transformer will disappear and the switching means of the short circuit will close. The terminals of the secondary winding of the current transformer are short-circuited. When the open load is replaced with a normal load, the load is restarted by the terminal voltage of the voltage securing capacitor and the short circuit is automatically opened.
