Abstract
A load side terminal connected to a load portion, a power source side terminal connected to a power source portion and a sacrifice electric pole connected to the power source side terminal are fixed to an apparatus main body. A movable plug is provided movably to the apparatus main body. The sacrifice electrode is constituted by a sacrifice electric pole with resistor connected to the power source side terminal via a resistor and a through sacrifice electric pole directly connected to the power source side terminal and arranged to shift from each other such that in a procedure of moving a conductive portion of the movable plug from a circuit opened position to a circuit closed position. The conductive portion is firstly brought into contact with the load side terminal, successively brought into contact with the sacrifice electric pole and finally brought into contact with the power source side terminal.
