Abstract
According to one embodiment, there is provided a magnetizing inrush current suppression apparatus including an interrupting phase detection unit that detects a phase when the transformer that converts a three-phase alternating-current voltage to a single-phase alternating-current voltage is disconnected, a single-phase alternating-current voltage measurement unit that measures the single-phase alternating-current voltage on the power system side of the circuit breaker, and a closing unit that closes the circuit breaker in the detected phase, based on the measured single-phase alternating-current voltage.
