  • Publication number: 20240355562
    Abstract: A DC circuit breaker 25a includes: a parallel connection part formed of a mechanical switch 40 and a semiconductor switch 44; and a switch control unit 39 which is connected in series to one side of the parallel connection part. The switch control unit 39 detects a main current value i separately from an external equipment-side breaking control device 12, and, when the main current value i is greater than or equal to a threshold ?, the switch control unit 39 initiates a breaking operation without having to wait for a tripping signal from the equipment-side breaking control device 12. In this 10 breaking operation, the mechanical switch 40 is switched from on to off after the semiconductor switch 44 has been switched from off to on.

  • Patent number: 10817123
    Abstract: An apparatus includes an image capturing device, a display, a storage, and a controller. In the storage, for an alarm window having plural lit portions that indicate alarms for plural items by lighting, position information and procedure information are stored beforehand, the position information associating a layout of the lit portions, with the respective items, the procedure information being handling procedures for the respective items corresponding to the respective lit portions. The controller displays the alarm window image-captured by the image capturing device on the display, causes an on-display position of any of the lit portions that has been lit to be selectable, and if the on-display position of the lit portion that has been lit is selected, reads out procedure information of the item corresponding to the lit portion from the storage and displays the procedure information on the display.
