Abstract
A control circuit is used for a system including a power storage unit, an electric load, and a power converter electrically connected to the electric load. The control circuit includes an abnormality determination unit, an emergency power supply that generates power based on electricity supplied from the power storage unit, and a protective control unit that, when the abnormality determination unit determines that an abnormality has occurred, performs protective control for the system. The emergency power supply includes a power supply control unit configured to be operable based on electricity supplied from the power storage unit. During the period from when the voltage input to the power supply control unit starts increasing based on electricity supplied from the power storage unit, the power supply control unit starts the emergency power supply in response to the input voltage reaching a specified voltage.
