  • Patent number: 10971920
    Abstract: An overcurrent protection device is to be provided between a power supply and a load circuit including an electric load and an electric wire electrically connected with each other, and includes a switching element, a current detector, a characteristic estimation portion, and a controller. The switching element switches flowing and interrupting of a load current that flows from the power supply to the electric load. The current detector detects the load current. The characteristic estimation portion estimates a thermal characteristic of the electric wire based on the load current detected by the current detector. The controller outputs an overcurrent protection signal for interrupting the load current so as to protect the load circuit from an overcurrent to the switching element based on the thermal characteristic estimated by the characteristic estimation portion and the load current detected by the current detector.
