Abstract
An object is to suppress drying of a fuel cell during continuous operation with high load. There is provided a fuel cell system including a fuel cell. The fuel cell system comprises an impedance detector that is configured to detect an impedance of the fuel cell; and a current limiter that is configured to limit an output current of the fuel cell with a limiting rate. The current limiter changes the limiting rate, based on the detected impedance.
