In addition, it is possible to prevent accidents due to disconnection of communication lines. Further, by providing various sensors for detecting energization information such as voltage in the main breaker 3 and the branch breaker 4, complicated energization information can be displayed. Further, since the PLC is performed in the distribution board, communication over a short distance corresponding to the length of the main bar 20 is sufficient, and there is no restriction such as signal attenuation. Therefore, communication is performed with the PLC outside the distribution board. Unlike the above, it is possible to perform highly reliable communication by the small and inexpensive communication master device 51 and communication slave devices 31 and 412. Further, since the breaker unit 42 and the adapter unit 41 are separate and communicate by connecting the adapter unit 41 to the breaker unit 42, the breaker unit 42 is made common with a distribution board that does not perform communication by PLC.

By installing the noise filters 6a and 6b, noise from the commercial power supply side and the load side is reduced, so that the reliability of communication between the communication parent device 51 and the communication child devices 31 and 412 is improved. Further, it is possible to prevent noise caused by communication in the distribution board from affecting other distribution boards and loads. The noise filters 6a and 6b may be installed only on either the primary side of the main breaker 3 or the secondary side of the branch breaker 4 according to the installation environment of the distribution board.

  Next, the structure of the modification of the distribution board 1 of the said 1st Embodiment is demonstrated with reference to FIG.

Thus, the monitoring unit 5 can be easily attached to the distribution board 1. Further, since only the main bar 20 is used as a communication path, the communication line is not cut, and the distance from the communication slave unit 412 is shortened, so that the reliability of communication is improved. Moreover, the monitoring unit 5 can be installed in an empty space where the branch breaker 4 is not installed, and the space in the distribution board can be utilized.

(Second Embodiment)
A distribution board according to a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.

(Third embodiment)
A distribution board according to a third embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. The distribution board of the present embodiment is different from the first embodiment in the configuration of the coupling circuit of the communication master unit. FIG. 9 shows the configuration of the communication master device 51. The coupling circuit 511 of the communication master device 51 includes a three-winding transformer T1 and capacitors C1 and C2. One end of the primary winding n1 of the three-winding transformer T1 is connected to the bar L1 of the main bar 20 via the capacitor C1, and the other end is connected to the bar N and one end of the primary winding n2. . The other end of the primary winding n2 is connected to the bar L2 via the capacitor C2. One end of the secondary winding n3 of the transformer T1 is connected to the transmission amplifier 512 and the reception filter 513, and the other end is connected to the ground of the communication master device 51.

  In the communication master device 51 configured as described above, when signal transmission is performed from the transmission AMP 512, a current flows through the secondary winding n3 of the three-winding transformer T1, and the primary windings n1 and n2 of the three-winding transformer T1. A voltage is induced in This induced voltage is superimposed on the main bar 20 via capacitors C1, C2 having low impedance in the frequency band of power line carrier communication, and the voltage induced in the primary winding n1 of the three-winding transformer is represented by bars L1, N. In the meantime, the voltage induced in the primary winding n2 is superimposed between the bars L2 and N. Therefore, a voltage is also superimposed between the bars L1 and L2. Thereby, the signal output from the transmission AMP 512 is superimposed between the 100V terminals of the main bar 20 (between the bars L1 and N and between the bars L2 and N) and between the 200V terminals (between the bars L1 and L2). Signal transmission is possible to the communication slave unit built in the breaker connected to each system.

  Contrary to the communication direction described above, when a transmission signal is received from a communication slave unit built in the breaker, the operation is reversed and the voltage induced in the secondary winding n3 of the three-winding transformer T1. Can be received by demodulating the signal via the reception filter circuit 513. The voltage of the reception signal transmitted from the breaker for 200V is a reception filter when the number of turns of the primary winding n1 is m1, the number of turns of the primary winding n2 is m2, and the number of turns of the secondary winding n3 is m3. Is m3 / (m1 + m2), for example, it is ½ when m1: m2: m3 = 1: 1: 1. As described above, the voltage of the reception signal transmitted from the breaker for 200V is half of the voltage of the reception signal transmitted from the breaker for 100V. However, a sufficient dynamic range is ensured in the modulation / demodulation processing unit 514, or 200V When communicating with the circuit breaker, stable reception can be performed by inserting an amplifier that amplifies the reception signal between the reception filter circuit 513 and the modulation / demodulation processing unit 514. Since the coupling circuit 511 of the communication master device 51 can be constituted by one three-winding transformer T1 and two capacitors C1 and C2, the distribution board can be made inexpensive.

FIG. 10 shows the configuration of the communication base unit 51. The coupling circuit 511 of the communication master unit 51 includes a two-winding transformer T2, a capacitor C3, and a changeover switch 515 capable of switching three contacts that connect the two-winding transformer T2 to an arbitrary phase of the main bar 20. Have. The changeover switch 515 switches the connection of the primary coil n4 of the two-winding transformer T2 with the main bar 20 according to a signal from the access control unit 516. When the connection position of the changeover switch 515 is set to the contact a1-a2, the 2-winding coil T2 is connected to the bars L1, L2, and when the contact b1-b2 is set, the 2-winding coil T2 is connected to the bars L1, N. When c1-c2, the two-winding coil T2 is connected to the bars L2, N. In this way, the two-winding coil T2 can be connected to an arbitrary phase of the main bar 20, and the influence from signals of other phases can be eliminated, so that the reliability of communication is improved.

Between the CT 441 and the PLC circuit unit 443, a capacitor C4 for allowing only signal components to pass therethrough is disposed. Between the two branch circuits 21, a capacitor (circuit element) C5 having a low impedance with respect to a signal frequency band used in power line carrier communication is disposed.
