Abstract
In the conventional elimination of a short-circuited point by using fuses, due to the fuse characteristics, it is not possible to ensure cooperation at the respective melting times of fuses in a short-circuit state. To solve such a problem, provided are a converter which limits a current passing through a distribution line in a short-circuit state and has a constant power drooping characteristic of passing a current greater than or equal to a rated current through the distribution line for a fixed time, and relays which have an operating characteristic of detecting a current greater than or equal to the rated current and hierarchically opening switches within the fixed time.
