The connection terminal 77 is also called a PIR terminal, and a pair of contact portions 78 facing each other is formed by bending an elastically deformable and conductive metal plate, and each circuit is connected via a jumper wire 40. It is connected to different bimetal plates 41 of the blocking part 22. In addition, as shown in FIG. 12, in a state where the connection terminal 77 is attached to the switching knob 66, the restricting portion 75a of the protrusion 75 of the switching knob 66 is a front end portion 78a on the rear side of the contact portion 78 of the connection terminal 77. Further, it is positioned so as to protrude to the rear side, that is, the side where the conductive bars N, L1, and L2 are inserted.

また、電源接続部収納部64には、各切替つまみ66の位置決め部73に係脱可能に係合して切替つまみ66を所定の位置に位置決めする位置決め受部80が設けられている。そして、各位置決め受部80は、一側のケース体13の内面側に一体に形成され、上下一対の突部80aと、これら突部80a同士の間に相対的に凹設された凹部80bとを備えている。また、各突部80aは、半円状の突部とこの突部から凹部80b側に向かって所定の長さで延びる突部とを備えている。すなわち、凹部80bから、各突部80aの外側の端部までは、所定の長さを有する余裕として構成されている。   In addition, the power supply connection portion storage portion 64 is provided with a positioning receiving portion 80 that removably engages with the positioning portion 73 of each switching knob 66 to position the switching knob 66 at a predetermined position.

That is, from the recess 80b to the outer end of each protrusion 80a is configured as a margin having a predetermined length.

そして、端子ドア20を開いた状態で、プラスドライバなどの工具を用いて各切替つまみ66を回動することにより、各接触部78がいずれかの導電体接続口25,26,27に対向する。すなわち、上側の切替つまみ66の接続端子77の接触部78は、中性極の導電バーNが挿入される導電体接続口25または一方の電圧極の導電バーL1が挿入される導電体接続口26に配置され、下側の切替つまみ66の接続端子77の接触部78は、一方の電圧極の導電バーL1が挿入される導電体接続口26または他方の電圧極の導電バーL2が導電体接続口27に配置され、それぞれ切替つまみ66の位置決め部73が位置決め受部80の凹部80bに係合して所定の位置に位置決めして保持される。さらに、この状態で、端子ドア20を閉じて前方に移動させることにより、端子ドア20の係止部20eが切替つまみ66の係止受部74に係合して、切替つまみ66の回動が抑止され、切替つまみ66すなわち接続端子77の位置が固定される。   Then, in a state where the terminal door 20 is opened, each contact portion 78 faces one of the conductor connection ports 25, 26, 27 by rotating each switching knob 66 using a tool such as a Phillips screwdriver. . That is, the contact portion 78 of the connection terminal 77 of the upper switching knob 66 is connected to the conductor connection port 25 into which the neutral electrode conductive bar N is inserted or the conductor connection port into which the one voltage electrode conductive bar L1 is inserted. 26, the contact portion 78 of the connection terminal 77 of the lower switching knob 66 is connected to the conductor connection port 26 into which the conductive bar L1 of one voltage electrode is inserted or the conductive bar L2 of the other voltage electrode is a conductor. The positioning portions 73 of the switching knobs 66 are arranged at the connection ports 27 and engage with the concave portions 80b of the positioning receiving portions 80 to be positioned and held at predetermined positions. Further, in this state, by closing the terminal door 20 and moving it forward, the locking portion 20e of the terminal door 20 is engaged with the locking receiving portion 74 of the switching knob 66, and the switching knob 66 is rotated. The position of the switching knob 66, that is, the connection terminal 77 is fixed.

そして、この状態で、すなわち所定の位置に接続端子77を位置させた状態で、取付部32aを係合し回路遮断器11をスライドさせて分電盤1に取り付けると、導電バーN,L1,L2が導電体接続口25,26,27からそれぞれ相対的に挿入され、これら導電バーN,L1,L2が接触部78で弾性的に挟持され、電気的に接続される。   In this state, that is, with the connection terminal 77 positioned at a predetermined position, when the attachment portion 32a is engaged and the circuit breaker 11 is slid and attached to the distribution board 1, the conductive bars N, L1, L2 is inserted relatively from the conductor connection ports 25, 26, and 27, and the conductive bars N, L1, and L2 are elastically sandwiched by the contact portion 78 and electrically connected.

また、接続端子77が所定の位置からずれた切替の中間状態では、このずれた状態を作業者が容易に確認でき、機械的あるいは電気的な不完全な接続を回避し、すなわち、回路遮断器11の分電盤1への機械的な接続あるいは導電バーN,L1,L2と接続端子77との電気的な接続を回避し、また、自動的に接続端子77を所定の位置に位置させる構成が備えられている。   Further, in the intermediate state of switching in which the connection terminal 77 is shifted from the predetermined position, the operator can easily confirm this shifted state, avoiding incomplete mechanical or electrical connection, that is, a circuit breaker. 11 mechanical connection to the distribution board 1 or electrical connection between the conductive bars N, L1, L2 and the connection terminal 77 is avoided, and the connection terminal 77 is automatically positioned at a predetermined position. Is provided.

まず、位置決め部73が位置決め受部80に正しく係合せず、接続端子77が所定の位置から大きくずれた状態では、端子ドア20を閉じようとした際に、この端子ドア20の係止部20eが切替つまみ66の規制部75aに当接し、端子ドア20が閉まらず、少なくとも係止部20eが係止受部74に係合する状態にはならない。そこで、接続端子77の位置がずれた状態を作業者が容易に確認できるとともに、分電盤1に取り付けた状態では、隣接する回路遮断器11などに端子ドア20が当接し、回路遮断器11の取り付けが回避される。   First, when the positioning portion 73 is not correctly engaged with the positioning receiving portion 80 and the connection terminal 77 is greatly deviated from a predetermined position, when the terminal door 20 is to be closed, the locking portion 20e of the terminal door 20 is closed. Is in contact with the restricting portion 75a of the switching knob 66, the terminal door 20 is not closed, and at least the locking portion 20e is not engaged with the locking receiving portion 74. Therefore, the operator can easily confirm the state in which the position of the connection terminal 77 is displaced, and when attached to the distribution board 1, the terminal door 20 comes into contact with the adjacent circuit breaker 11 and the circuit breaker 11 Installation is avoided.

また、接続端子77が所定の位置から大きくずれた状態では、図13に示すように、導電体接続口25,26,27から挿入された導電バーN,L1,L2は切替つまみ66の規制部75aに当接し、接続端子77に接触することがない。そこで、接続端子77の位置がずれた状態を作業者が容易に確認できるとともに、接続端子77の変形や不完全な電気的接続が回避される。   When the connection terminal 77 is largely deviated from the predetermined position, the conductive bars N, L1, and L2 inserted from the conductor connection ports 25, 26, and 27 are restricted by the restricting portion of the switching knob 66 as shown in FIG. It abuts against 75a and does not contact the connection terminal 77. Therefore, the operator can easily confirm the state where the position of the connection terminal 77 is shifted, and deformation of the connection terminal 77 and incomplete electrical connection can be avoided.

一方、接続端子77が所定の位置から若干ずれた状態では、端子ドア20を閉じようとした際に、この端子ドア20の係止部20eが切替つまみ66のドア用案内部75cに摺接し、切替つまみ66を回転させ、接続端子77を所定の位置に移動させることができる。   On the other hand, in a state where the connection terminal 77 is slightly deviated from the predetermined position, when the terminal door 20 is to be closed, the locking portion 20e of the terminal door 20 comes into sliding contact with the door guide portion 75c of the switching knob 66, The connection knob 77 can be moved to a predetermined position by rotating the switching knob 66.

また、接続端子77が所定の位置から若干ずれた状態では、導電体接続口25,26,27から挿入された導電バーN,L1,L2は切替つまみ66の導電体用案内部75bに摺接し、切替つまみ66を回転させ、接続端子77を所定の位置に移動させることができる。   When the connection terminal 77 is slightly deviated from the predetermined position, the conductive bars N, L1, L2 inserted from the conductor connection ports 25, 26, 27 are in sliding contact with the conductor guide portion 75b of the switching knob 66. The switch knob 66 can be rotated to move the connection terminal 77 to a predetermined position.

また、電源接続部収納部64内の上端部には、表示駒である表示手段81が配置されている。そして、この表示手段81は、例えば赤色の合成樹脂にて形成され、前後方向を軸方向としてケース体13に回動可能に軸支された軸部82と、この軸部82から径方向に突設された表示部83及び作用部84を備えている。また、この表示手段81には、付勢手段としての線ばねである表示駒スプリング86が装着されている。そこで、作用部84に力が加わっていない状態では、表示部83が表示窓65に臨み、すなわち、表示部83が表示窓65の通孔と底板との間に入り込み、この表示部83が外部から赤く見えるようになっている。そして、上側の切替つまみ66の接続端子77が上側に回動して中性極の導電バーNが挿入される導電体接続口25に臨む位置に存在する場合は、接続端子77が表示駒スプリング86の付勢力に抗して作用部84を押動し、表示部83が表示窓65から外れ、表示部83が外部から白く見えるようになっている。   In addition, a display means 81 that is a display piece is disposed at the upper end portion in the power supply connection portion storage portion 64. The display means 81 is formed of, for example, a red synthetic resin, and has a shaft portion 82 that is pivotally supported by the case body 13 with the front-rear direction as an axial direction, and projects from the shaft portion 82 in the radial direction. A display unit 83 and an action unit 84 are provided. The display means 81 is provided with a display piece spring 86 which is a wire spring as an urging means. Therefore, in a state where no force is applied to the action part 84, the display part 83 faces the display window 65, that is, the display part 83 enters between the through hole of the display window 65 and the bottom plate. It looks like red. When the connection terminal 77 of the upper switching knob 66 is pivoted upward and faces the conductor connection port 25 into which the neutral conductive bar N is inserted, the connection terminal 77 is connected to the display piece spring. The action part 84 is pushed against the urging force of 86, the display part 83 comes off from the display window 65, and the display part 83 looks white from the outside.

ここで、電源接続部21の100V(110V)と200V(220V)との切り替え動作を説明する。   Here, the switching operation between 100 V (110 V) and 200 V (220 V) of the power supply connection unit 21 will be described.

まず、100Vの接続状態は、上端の中性極の導電バーNを必ず利用するとともに、いずれかの導電バーL1,L2を利用して実現される。すなわち、上側の切替つまみ66の接続端子77は上側に回動され、下側の切替つまみ66の接続端子77は上下いずれかに回動される。このとき、表示部83が外部から白く見える。   First, the connection state of 100 V is realized by always using the conductive bar N at the neutral electrode at the upper end and using one of the conductive bars L1 and L2. That is, the connection terminal 77 of the upper switching knob 66 is rotated upward, and the connection terminal 77 of the lower switching knob 66 is rotated either up or down. At this time, the display unit 83 looks white from the outside.

一方、200Vの接続状態は、中央の導電バーL1と下端の導電バーL2とを利用して実現される。すなわち、図1に示すように、上下側の切替つまみ66の接続端子77はいずれも下方に回動される。このとき、表示部83が外部から赤く見える。   On the other hand, the connection state of 200 V is realized by using the central conductive bar L1 and the lower conductive bar L2. That is, as shown in FIG. 1, all the connection terminals 77 of the upper and lower switching knobs 66 are rotated downward. At this time, the display unit 83 looks red from the outside.

一方、負荷接続部23は、ねじなし端子を構成し、SL端子部とも呼ばれるもので、筐体12に固定された導電性を有する固定接点板である一対の端子板101と、弾性変形可能な金属製でありSL端子ばねとも呼ばれる一対の係止板102と、絶縁性を有する合成樹脂製の一対のハンドルであるレバー103となどを備えている。なお、これらレバー103は、互いに異なる色に着色されている。そして、各端子板101は、各電線挿入口29の軸方向に沿って配置された電線接続部105を備えている。さらに、この電線接続部105には、下面側に突出し、後側に角部を設けた鎖状接続部105aが設けられている。そして、この電線接続部105から延設された接点支持部106に、固定接点46が固着されている。また、各端子板101には、電線接続部105から屈曲して延設された検電部を兼ねたガイド部108が設けられ、電線接続部105とガイド部108とが筐体12に設けたリブ111,112に直接あるいは間接に当接して、がたつくことなく保持されている。また、ガイド部108は、筐体12に設けた検電用挿入口30に対向し、この検電用挿入口30から挿入された工具が当接して検電できるようになっている。   On the other hand, the load connecting portion 23 constitutes a screwless terminal and is also referred to as an SL terminal portion. The load connecting portion 23 is elastically deformable with a pair of terminal plates 101, which are conductive fixed contact plates fixed to the housing 12. It includes a pair of locking plates 102 made of metal and also called an SL terminal spring, and a lever 103 that is a pair of insulating synthetic resin handles. The levers 103 are colored in different colors. Each terminal board 101 includes an electric wire connecting portion 105 disposed along the axial direction of each electric wire insertion port 29. Further, the electric wire connection portion 105 is provided with a chain connection portion 105a that protrudes on the lower surface side and has a corner portion on the rear side. A fixed contact 46 is fixed to a contact support portion 106 extended from the electric wire connection portion 105. In addition, each terminal plate 101 is provided with a guide portion 108 that also serves as a voltage detection portion that is bent and extended from the wire connection portion 105, and the wire connection portion 105 and the guide portion 108 are provided in the housing 12. The ribs 111 and 112 are directly or indirectly abutted and held without rattling. Further, the guide portion 108 faces the voltage detection insertion port 30 provided in the housing 12, and a tool inserted from the voltage detection insertion port 30 comes into contact with the voltage detection device.

また、係止板102は、端子板101の電線接続部105とリブ111との間に挟持される基部116と、この基部116から延設され約270°弧状に屈曲された屈曲部117と、この屈曲部117の先端部に設けられた矩形孔状の電線係止部118とを備えている。さらに、電線係止部118の下端の縁部には、他の部分より厚さ寸法が小さく形成された鎖状接続部118aが形成されている。そして、この電線係止部118内に端子板101の電線接続部105が挿通するように配置され、係止板102の復帰変形する付勢力により、電線係止部118の縁部が電線接続部105に圧接されている。   The locking plate 102 includes a base 116 that is sandwiched between the wire connecting portion 105 of the terminal plate 101 and the rib 111, a bent portion 117 that extends from the base 116 and is bent in an arc shape of about 270 °, A rectangular hole-shaped wire locking portion 118 provided at the tip of the bent portion 117 is provided. Further, a chain connection part 118a having a thickness dimension smaller than that of the other part is formed at the lower edge of the wire locking part 118. Then, the wire connecting portion 105 of the terminal plate 101 is disposed so as to be inserted into the electric wire engaging portion 118, and the edge of the electric wire engaging portion 118 is caused to be connected to the electric wire connecting portion by the urging force of the engaging plate 102 to return and deform. It is in pressure contact with 105.

さらに、レバー103は、筐体12の電線接続用レバー取付部35に回動可能に支持される軸部121と、この軸部121から一方に延設されたレバー操作部122と、軸部121からレバー操作部122の略反対側に延設された作用部123とを備えている。   Further, the lever 103 includes a shaft portion 121 that is rotatably supported by the wire connection lever mounting portion 35 of the housing 12, a lever operation portion 122 that extends from the shaft portion 121, and a shaft portion 121. And an action part 123 extending substantially opposite to the lever operation part 122.

そこで、この負荷接続部23は、レバー操作部122を上方に引き上げることにより、作用部123が屈曲部117を下方に押動し、係止板102の電線係止部118が電線接続部105の下面に沿った電線挿入口29に対向して開口する。そして、この状態で、負荷側の電線Wを電線挿入口29を介して電線係止部118内に挿入する。次いで、レバー操作部122を前側下方におろすことにより、係止板102が復帰変形し、電線係止部118の縁部が挿入された電線Wを端子板101の電線接続部105に圧接させ、電線Wを端子板101に電気的に接続するとともに、機械的に抜け止めする。さらに、この状態で、端子板101の鎖状接続部105aと係止板102の鎖状接続部118aとが電線Wに食い込むように当接し、電線Wを強固に抜け止めする。一方、再度レバー操作部122を引き上げることにより、容易に電線Wを取り外せるようになっている。   Therefore, in the load connecting portion 23, the lever operating portion 122 is pulled upward, so that the action portion 123 pushes the bent portion 117 downward, and the wire locking portion 118 of the locking plate 102 is connected to the wire connecting portion 105. It opens opposite to the wire insertion opening 29 along the lower surface. In this state, the load-side electric wire W is inserted into the electric wire locking portion 118 through the electric wire insertion port 29. Next, by lowering the lever operation portion 122 to the lower front side, the locking plate 102 is restored and deformed, and the electric wire W into which the edge portion of the electric wire locking portion 118 is inserted is brought into pressure contact with the electric wire connection portion 105 of the terminal plate 101, The electric wire W is electrically connected to the terminal plate 101 and is mechanically prevented from coming off. Further, in this state, the chain connection portion 105a of the terminal plate 101 and the chain connection portion 118a of the locking plate 102 come into contact with each other so as to bite into the electric wire W, thereby firmly preventing the electric wire W from coming off. On the other hand, the electric wire W can be easily removed by pulling up the lever operation unit 122 again.

このように、本実施の形態によれば、電源接続部21に、それぞれ選択端子である接続端子77を備えた2個の切替つまみ66を設け、いわば2軸の切替手段である回転切替手段を備えたため、この回転操作により分電盤1の導電バーN,L1,L2を適宜組み合わせて選択接続でき、電圧切替、相切替を容易に行うことができる。   As described above, according to the present embodiment, the power supply connection portion 21 is provided with the two switching knobs 66 each having the connection terminal 77 serving as the selection terminal, so that the rotation switching means serving as the two-axis switching means is provided. Because of this, by this rotation operation, the conductive bars N, L1, L2 of the distribution board 1 can be selected and connected in appropriate combinations, and voltage switching and phase switching can be easily performed.

さらに、電源側の回転切替構造である電源接続部21の接続端子77を支持する切替つまみ66に、規制部75a、導電体用案内部75b、及びドア用案内部75cを備えた突起部75を設けたため、接続端子77が所定の切替完了位置(正規位置)からずれた切替の中間状態では、このずれた状態を作業者が容易に確認でき、機械的あるいは電気的な不完全な接続を回避し、すなわち、回路遮断器11の分電盤1への機械的な接続あるいは導電バーN,L1,L2と接続端子77との不完全な電気的な接続や接続端子77の変形を回避し、あるいは、自動的に接続端子77を所定の位置に位置させることができる。   Further, the switching knob 66 that supports the connection terminal 77 of the power supply connection portion 21 that is the rotation switching structure on the power supply side is provided with a protrusion 75 including a restriction portion 75a, a conductor guide portion 75b, and a door guide portion 75c. Therefore, in the intermediate state of switching where the connection terminal 77 is shifted from the predetermined switching completion position (regular position), the operator can easily check this shifted state and avoid incomplete mechanical or electrical connection. That is, mechanical connection of the circuit breaker 11 to the distribution board 1 or incomplete electrical connection between the conductive bars N, L1, L2 and the connection terminal 77 and deformation of the connection terminal 77 are avoided. Alternatively, the connection terminal 77 can be automatically positioned at a predetermined position.

すなわち、切替つまみ66に、接続端子77の側方に位置して、接続端子77の先端部78aより後方に突出する突起部75を設けたため、接続端子77が正規の位置にない場合に無理やり回路遮断器11を分電盤1に取付ようとしても、突起部75の規制部75aが導電バーN,L1,L2に当接し、接続端子77の変形を防止できる。   In other words, since the switching knob 66 is provided with a protrusion 75 that is located on the side of the connection terminal 77 and protrudes rearward from the tip 78a of the connection terminal 77, the circuit is forcibly applied when the connection terminal 77 is not in the proper position. Even if the circuit breaker 11 is to be attached to the distribution board 1, the restricting portion 75 a of the protrusion 75 abuts against the conductive bars N, L 1, L 2, and deformation of the connection terminal 77 can be prevented.

また、切替つまみ66の突起部75には、導電バーN,L1,L2の接続方向から離れるに従い所定の方向に傾斜する勾配を設定した導電体用案内部75bを設けたため、接続端子77が導電バーN,L1,L2に対して斜めに位置していたとしても、取り付け作業を継続することで、接続端子77を正規の位置に修正できる。   In addition, the protrusion 75 of the switching knob 66 is provided with a conductor guide 75b having a slope that is inclined in a predetermined direction as it is away from the connection direction of the conductive bars N, L1, and L2. Even if it is positioned obliquely with respect to the bars N, L1, and L2, the connection terminal 77 can be corrected to the proper position by continuing the mounting operation.

さらに、切替つまみ66に突起部75を設けたため、接続端子77が正規の位置にない場合に端子ドア20を閉じようとしても、この端子ドア20は突起部75に当接し、端子ドア20が閉まらず、接続端子77の位置がずれた状態を作業者が容易に確認できる。   Furthermore, since the projection 75 is provided on the switching knob 66, even if the terminal door 20 is closed when the connection terminal 77 is not in the proper position, the terminal door 20 abuts on the projection 75 and the terminal door 20 is not closed. Therefore, the operator can easily confirm the state where the position of the connection terminal 77 is shifted.

また、切替つまみ66の突起部75には傾斜面であるドア用案内部75cを設けるとともに、端子ドア20にも傾斜面であるドア側傾斜辺部20fを設けたため、端子ドア20を閉じることにより、接続端子77を正規の位置に修正できる。   In addition, the projection 75 of the switching knob 66 is provided with a door guide portion 75c that is an inclined surface, and the terminal door 20 is also provided with the door-side inclined side portion 20f that is an inclined surface. The connection terminal 77 can be corrected to the proper position.

また、切替つまみ66の外周面に位置決め部73を設け、筐体12のケース体13側に位置決め受部80を設けたため、切替つまみ66すなわち接続端子77を作業性良く正規の位置に位置決めできる。さらに、この位置決め受部80は、切替つまみ66の位置決め部73の回転軌跡に沿って所定の長さ寸法すなわち余裕を設定したため、位置決め部73が位置決め受部80の突部80aの縁部に当接して中立した中間状態では、切替つまみ66は正規位置よりある程度の角度を持って傾斜した状態となり、突起部75の規制部75aに導電バーN,L1,L2を確実に当接させ、取り付け動作を継続不可能として、接続端子77の変形などを防止することができる。   Further, since the positioning portion 73 is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the switching knob 66 and the positioning receiving portion 80 is provided on the case body 13 side of the housing 12, the switching knob 66, that is, the connection terminal 77 can be positioned at a proper position with good workability. Further, since this positioning receiving portion 80 has a predetermined length dimension, that is, a margin, is set along the rotation locus of the positioning portion 73 of the switching knob 66, the positioning portion 73 hits the edge of the protrusion 80a of the positioning receiving portion 80. In the intermediate state that is in contact and neutral, the switching knob 66 is inclined at a certain angle from the normal position, and the conductive bars N, L1, and L2 are securely brought into contact with the restricting portion 75a of the protruding portion 75 to perform the mounting operation. Therefore, the connection terminal 77 can be prevented from being deformed.

なお、本実施の形態では、切替つまみ66すなわち接続端子77の位置がずれた状態で、端子ドア20を閉じないようにする手段、導電バーN,L1,L2を接続端子77に接触させない手段、端子ドア20を閉じる動作により接続端子77の位置を直す手段、及び導電バーN,L1,L2の挿入により接続端子77の位置を直す手段を設けたが、これら手段のうちの少なくとも一つを設けることにより、機械的あるいは電気的な不完全な接続を回避することができる。   In the present embodiment, means for preventing the terminal door 20 from closing when the position of the switching knob 66, that is, the connection terminal 77 is shifted, means for preventing the conductive bars N, L1, L2 from contacting the connection terminal 77, Means for correcting the position of the connection terminal 77 by the operation of closing the terminal door 20 and means for correcting the position of the connection terminal 77 by inserting the conductive bars N, L1, and L2 are provided. At least one of these means is provided. Thus, incomplete mechanical or electrical connection can be avoided.

また、筐体12の天面部33に設定すなわち選択電圧が見える表示を設け、中性極(N極)の導電バーNが挿入される導電体接続口25に接続端子77が存在しない状態で、すなわち200Vが選択されている状態で、天面部33の表示が白色から赤色になり、200V電圧表示を行うようにしたため、選択電圧を、特に、200Vを選択した状態を容易に確認でき、過電圧を負荷機器に印加することを抑制できる。   In addition, in the state where the setting surface, that is, the selection voltage can be seen, is provided on the top surface portion 33 of the housing 12, and there is no connection terminal 77 in the conductor connection port 25 into which the conductive bar N of the neutral electrode (N electrode) is inserted, In other words, the display of the top surface 33 changes from white to red when 200 V is selected, and the 200 V voltage is displayed. Therefore, it is possible to easily check the selected voltage, particularly the state where 200 V is selected, and the overvoltage. Application to the load device can be suppressed.

また、電源接続部21は、2個の切替つまみ66を設けて構成したため、1個の端子を上下にスライドさせる構成などに比べて、各部材も簡略な構成で部品点数の削減も可能であり、製造コストを低減できる。   In addition, since the power supply connecting portion 21 is provided with two switching knobs 66, each member can be simplified in configuration and the number of parts can be reduced compared to a configuration in which one terminal is slid up and down. Manufacturing cost can be reduced.
