As shown in FIG. 8, an interconnection breaker 21 and a trunk line Lm connected from a single-phase three-line commercial power supply AC to a trunk line Lm connected via a current limiter (hereinafter referred to as a limiter) 11 and a main trunk breaker 12 composed of an earth leakage breaker. Off-line switches 22a, 2
In some cases, a power converter 23 for converting the output of the solar cell 20 into electric power is connected via the power converter 2b. The limiter 11 is a breaker provided to limit a load current of a customer to a value not more than a contract value with a power company. The power converter 23 uses the inverter circuit as described above, and has a function of converting a DC voltage output from the solar cell 20 into an AC voltage. A plurality of branch circuits Lb are connected to the trunk line Lm between the main breaker 12 and the interconnection breaker 21 via the branch breakers 13, respectively. Limiter 1
1, the main breaker 12, the branch breaker 13, the interconnection breaker 21, the disconnecting switches 22a and 22b are housed in the distribution board 1, the solar cell 20 is installed on the roof of a house, etc., and the power converter 23 is a solar cell. In order to make the wiring between them as short as possible, they are placed outdoors in a house. The reason why the wiring between the solar cell 20 and the power converter 23 is shortened and arranged outdoors is that a direct current flows between the solar cell 20 and the power converter 23 so that the loss does not increase. The maximum output voltage of the 20 is about 300 V, so that the possibility of the high voltage wiring touching a person is reduced and safety is improved.

2系統の間に2個の接点を挿入するのが望ましい。The disconnecting switches 22a and 22b are provided to disconnect the commercial power supply AC from the power converter 23 in the event of an abnormality or a power failure of the commercial power supply AC. That is, the system interconnection is performed when the disconnection switches 22a and 22b are on, and the system is separated when the disconnection switches 22a and 22b are off (that is, in the disconnected state). According to the above guidelines, it is desirable that two contacts are inserted between the two systems for disconnecting switches 22a and 22b for system interconnection.

負荷に電力を供給できる可能性が高くなる。The disconnecting switches 22a and 22b are disconnected when an abnormality or a power failure of the commercial power supply AC is detected by the system interconnection protection device 25. Breaker 21 and disconnection switch 22
a and 22b are detected based on the output of the sensor 27 inserted between the first and second sensors 22a and 22b. That is, the sensor 27 detects the current flowing through the main line Lm and the voltage between the lines, and transfers the detected current to the system interconnection protection device 25, whereby an abnormality or a power failure can be detected. Since the paralleling switches 22a and 22b are inserted between the power converter 23 and the branch breaker 13, power is supplied to the branch circuit Lb at the time of abnormality or power failure even if the solar cell 20 generates power. You can't do that. Therefore, the power converter 23 and the parallel-off circuit breaker 22
It has been proposed to connect a shared branch circuit Lc between the common branch circuit Lc and the common branch circuit Lc via the common branch breaker 24. If such a common branch circuit Lc is provided, power can be supplied to the common branch circuit Lc regardless of whether the system is connected to the system or separated from the system. In other words, power can be supplied to the shared branch circuit Lc even when an abnormality or power failure occurs, as long as the output is normally obtained from the power converter 23. As a result, there is a high possibility that power can be supplied to a load that needs to supply power preferentially, such as a communication device such as a telephone.

成されている。Incidentally, the power converter 23 is configured to output an AC of 200 V (when the commercial power supply is 100 V) when the power system is interconnected, and to output an AC of 100 V when the power system is separated. Whether the system interconnection state or the system separation state is indicated by a notification signal from the system interconnection protection device 25 through the signal line Ls. The power converter 23 divides the output into equal parts, and connects the divided midpoint to the neutral line of the main line Lm during system interconnection. The reason why the output voltage of the power converter 23 is switched between the time of system interconnection and the time of system separation is to secure current capacity by lowering the output voltage because only the solar cell 20 is used as a power source during system separation. As described above, since the output voltage of the power converter 23 changes between the time of system interconnection and the time of system isolation, in order not to change the line voltage of the shared branch circuit Lc between the time of system interconnection and the time of system isolation, Means for switching the connection relationship between the power converter 23 and the shared branch circuit Lc is required. Therefore, diverter switch 2 comprising a contact r 21, r 22 of the change-over switch 29a and the two-pole comprising a contact r 11 ~r 13 three-pole
9b is provided between the power converter 23 and the common branch breaker 24. Here, the parallel-off switches 22a, 22
b and the switching switches 29a and 29b are constituted by electromagnetic relays.
