Abstract
In order to shorten the length of connection buses and reduce a cost, in the present invention, a plurality of T-branched circuit breaker units are arranged in a direction perpendicular to the T-branch direction, and the plurality of circuit breaker units are connected by first connection bus units and second connection bus units in series alternately in a rectangular wave shape on a horizontal plane of approximately the same height as the T-branch portions of the circuit breaker units . Thereby, first connection buses and second connection buses are stretched around on the horizontal plane of the same height as the T-branch portions of the circuit breaker units , but not stretched around in an up and down direction. Therefore, the length of the connection buses can be reduced, and the cost also can be reduced.
