Abstract
According to one embodiment, there is provided a power electronics device including: a connector connected to a power line; a power controller; a connection detection processor; and a collision monitor. The power controller performs at least one of generating an electric signal to the power line and detecting an electric signal on the power line via the connector. The connection detection processor performs a connection detection process with use of the power controller to detect another power electronics device connected to the power line. The collision monitor monitors whether or not collision of electric signals occurs on the power line during the connection detection process and controls the connection detection processor according to a monitoring result of whether or not the collision of electric signals occurs.
