Abstract

A protection relay device includes a housing and a fuse unit. The fuse unit includes a connection conductor, an input conductor connected to the connection conductor and receiving an external power, a fuse connected to the connection conductor, and an external device connection conductor connected to the fuse on a side opposite to the input conductor, and to which an external device is connected. A short-circuit induction conductor is provided on at least one of the input conductor on a side opposite to the fuse and the flapper portion, the short-circuit induction conductor protruding toward the other of the input conductor and the flapper portion.

Claims (22)

1. A protection relay device comprising:

a housing;

a flapper portion provided on the housing and capable of communicating between inside and outside of the housing; and

a fuse unit provided in the housing,

wherein the fuse unit includes:

a connection conductor;

an input conductor connected to the connection conductor and to which an external power is input;

a fuse connected to the connection conductor; and

an external device connection conductor connected to the fuse on a side opposite to the input conductor, and to which an external device is connected,

a short-circuit induction conductor is provided on at least one of the input conductor on a side opposite to the fuse and the flapper portion, the short-circuit induction conductor protruding toward the other of the input conductor and the flapper portion, and

the short-circuit induction conductor is provided on the input conductor on a side opposite to the fuse, and is disposed adjacent to the flapper portion.

2. The protection relay device according to claim 1 , wherein the short-circuit induction conductor has a tapered portion that is tapered toward the other of the input conductor and the flapper portion.

3. The protection relay device according to claim 1 , wherein the flapper portion includes:

a wall surface;

an opening formed in the wall surface; and

a lid portion rotatably provided with respect to the wall surface, and configured to close up the opening.

4. The protection relay device according to claim 1 , comprising

an internal cover provided at least in part between the housing and the fuse unit, and configured to separate the housing and the fuse unit.

5. The protection relay device according to claim 1 , wherein the flapper portion is disposed at a top of the housing.

6. A power conversion system comprising:

the protection relay device according to claim 1 , and

a power converter that is connected to the external power through the protection relay device and is the external device.
