Abstract: Provided is an elevator system which can easily supply power to an elevator. The elevator system includes a coordinating device configured to command an autonomous mobile body which moves inside a building provided with an elevator to supply power to the elevator in a case where the coordinating device determines that a supply of power from the autonomous mobile body to the elevator is necessary. According to the elevator system, the autonomous mobile body supplies power to the elevator when the supply of power to the elevator is necessary. Therefore, power can be easily supplied to the elevator.

Abstract: When a voltage (V) of a D.C. power source having an internal resistance (5a) exceeds an "exciting voltage" (FIG. 2), transistors (21, 28 and 33) turn ON, and a transistor (30) turns OFF, and then a tripping winding 16 is excited to close a circuit breaker; on the other hand when the voltage (V) is lowered under a "tripping voltage", the transistor (33) turns OFF and the transistor (30) turns ON, and thereby a load resistor (31) which is less than a resistance 34 of the tripping winding 16 is connected to the D.C. power source; consequently, the voltage V is further lowered by the internal resistance (5a), and a voltage difference is produced between the exciting voltage and the tripping voltage, thus making a "hysteresis characteristic" between the exciting voltage and the tripping voltage.
