A plurality of sensing terminal devices and a disaster determination processing device are dispersedly placed at different positions. Each sensing terminal device is configured to send, when occurrence of disaster has been sensed, disaster sensing information to which terminal identification information for specifying the sensing terminal device itself is added, and the disaster determination processing device is configured to determine a disaster status based on the received disaster sensing information. The sensing terminal devices and the disaster determination processing device are connected together via a mesh network. A disaster determination section of the disaster determination processing device is configured to determine a disaster occurrence position and a disaster expansion direction from a placement position and a disaster sensing time for at least two or more of the sensing terminal devices having sent the disaster sensing information.

Disaster determination system and disaster determination method

A contact structure is provided. The contact structure suppresses arcing that can occur between contacts that establish a live connection, without increasing the size of the contact structure, and without making longer the length of the inserting/drawing stroke of a correspondingly formed contact. A live contact portion of a first contact, and an auxiliary contact portion of an auxiliary contact body configured with a high resistance resistor having a base end connected portion that establishes an electrical connection with the first contact front on a movement path of a second contact at positions that are shifted in front and rear directions while being distanced by a width that allows simultaneously contact with the second contact. If the second contact separates from the first contact, the auxiliary contact body configured with the high resistance resistor intervenes between the first contact and the second contact, and inhibits arcing.

Contact structure

The present invention is intended to provide a contact contacting structure for hot-line connection between contacts configured such that the occurrence of arc discharge between contacts is suppressed by a simple configuration. At least one of contact/separation contact surfaces in a pair opposed to each other at the contact/separation position between a first contact and a second contact is covered with an oxide film. At the time of contact or separation of the first contact and the second contact, the oxide film as an insulator intervenes between the paired contact/separation contact surfaces to decrease energy accumulated between the first contact and the second contact at the instant of contact or separation of the two contacts, thereby suppressing the occurrence of arc discharge.

Hotline contacting structure

An insertion plug includes: a rotor fixed around a blade, and housed in an insulating plug case; a guide unit in the insulating plug case to guide the rotor around an axis extending in a longitudinal direction of the blade and within a rotation angle of at least 90 degrees between a first rotation position at which the blade becomes substantially parallel with another blade and a second rotation position at which the blade becomes substantially orthogonal to the other blade; and a positioning unit that positions the rotor at the first rotation position or the second rotation position, the blades caused to project from a position corresponding to an AC power source outlet if the rotor is positioned at the first rotation position, and the blades caused to project from a position corresponding to a DC power source outlet if the rotor is positioned at the second rotation position.
