You can break the circuit. The contents of the disconnection information can also be changed as appropriate according to the event that triggers the disconnection function to disconnect the circuit. In addition, the collection of monitoring information by the collection unit 712 of the present embodiment includes a process of estimating the cause of the blocking operation by aggregating the collected blocking information (state information and blocking cause information). The aggregated monitoring information may also include results of inferring the cause of the blocking action.

The load information is information about the operating state of the loads electrically connected to the circuit breaker 2 (for example, the outlet 22 and the electric devices 23, 24, etc.). The load information includes, for example, the measured value of a temperature sensor provided inside the outlet 22, error information regarding an abnormality occurring in the electrical equipment 23, 24, and the like.

A conductive bar is connected. Each conductive bar is formed in the shape of a long plate that is elongated in the left-right direction by a conductive member, and is arranged at the center in the vertical direction and on the right side of the main breaker 3 inside the cabinet 10 for the distribution board. there is

For example, the branch breaker 4 may cut off the circuit when the detector 41 detects intermittent arcing when the wire is about to break based on the current waveform of the current flowing through the circuit. Further, the detection unit 41 may have a function of detecting an electric leakage state of the circuit to which the branch breaker 4 is connected. good.

The seismic breaker 5 is arranged so as to line up with the branch breaker 4 in the left-right direction under the conductive bar. The seismic breaker 5 has a seismic sensor 51 that detects vibration applied to the distribution board cabinet 10 . When the seismic sensor 51 detects a vibration exceeding a predetermined reference value (for example, seismic motion with a seismic intensity of 5), the seismic breaker 5 performs a breaking operation to break the circuit. The seismic breaker 5 generates a pseudo electric leakage state by electrically connecting, for example, the first voltage pole or the second voltage pole and the neutral pole via an impedance element with a relatively low resistance. When the seismic breaker 5 generates a pseudo electric leakage state, the detector 32 of the master breaker 3 detects the pseudo electric leakage state generated by the seismic breaker 5, and the master breaker 3 opens the contact 31. Let As a result, when the distribution board cabinet 10 is subjected to vibration exceeding the reference value due to an earthquake or the like, the power supply to the circuit connected to the secondary side of the master breaker 3 can be cut off.

A distributed power supply 21 provided in a facility 500 is connected to the interconnection breaker 6 . The interconnection breaker 6 is electrically connected between the conductive bar electrically connected to the secondary side terminal of the main breaker 3 and the distributed power supply 21 .

The backup power supply 9 supplies power to the measurement adapter 7 and the like using the battery 91 as a power supply when the system power supply 20 fails. Therefore, even if the system power supply 20 fails, the measurement adapter 7 can receive power from the backup power supply 9 and operate. That is, the collection unit 712 of the measurement adapter 7 can acquire operating power from the battery 91 housed in the distribution board 1 .

The measurement adapter 7 is arranged on the left side of the main breaker 3 inside the distribution board cabinet 10 . The measurement adapter 7 has a measurement function of measuring power passing through at least one of the main breaker 3 and the branch breaker 4 in the distribution board 1, and a communication function of communicating with devices arranged outside the distribution board cabinet 10. have. In addition, in this embodiment, the measurement adapter 7 has a collection function of collecting monitoring information regarding the usage status of the monitoring target including the circuit breaker 2 . Since the measurement adapter 7 operates by being supplied with power from the primary side of the main breaker 3, it can operate even when the main breaker 3 performs a breaking operation. If the system power supply 20 fails, the measurement adapter 7 receives power from the backup power supply 9, so it can operate even when the system power supply 20 fails.

The measurement unit 711 of the measurement adapter 7 receives from the current measurement device 8 the values of the currents flowing through each of the plurality of branch breakers 4 and the interconnection breakers 6 measured by the current measurement device 8 . Furthermore, the measurement unit 711 of the measurement adapter 7 receives the current value measured by the main current measuring device from the main current measuring device. The measuring unit 711 converts each of the current values measured by the current measuring device 8 and the master current measuring device into power values (instantaneous power values). The measurement unit 711 also has a function of calculating power amount data by integrating collected instantaneous power data over a predetermined period of time.

The collection unit 712 collects monitoring information about the usage states of the monitoring targets including the plurality of circuit breakers 2 housed in the distribution board 1 . A collection unit 712 periodically collects monitoring information. For example, the collecting unit 712 collects current values of currents flowing through the plurality of circuit breakers 2 from the master current measuring device and the current measuring device 8 as monitoring information. The collection unit 712 also collects the measurement results of the seismic sensor 51 from the seismic breaker 5 as monitoring information. For example, when the measurement adapter 7 and the seismic breaker 5 each have a wireless communication function, the measurement adapter 7 and the seismic breaker 5 communicate with each other, whereby the collection unit 712 transfers the signals from the seismic breaker 5 to the seismic sensor 51 . Collect measurements. In addition, the measurement adapter 7 may be configured to acquire the measurement result from the voltage measurement unit that measures the inter-terminal voltage of the secondary side terminal of the circuit breaker 2, and the collection unit 712 is configured to acquire the measurement result of the voltage measurement unit. Based on the results, information is collected that indicates whether each circuit breaker 2 is performing a breaking operation.

Further, when any of the circuit breakers 2 performs the breaking operation, the control unit 71 collects the monitoring information collected by the collecting unit 712 to determine whether the cause of the breaking operation of the circuit breaker 2 is an electric leakage or a short circuit. , overloads, earthquakes, and lightning strikes.

Here, before the circuit breaker 2 breaks the circuit, the output unit 713 may cause the storage unit 74 to store the notification information (monitoring information and estimation result of the cause of the breaking operation), or the circuit breaker The notification information may be stored in the storage unit 74 after 2 interrupts the circuit. Here, the storage unit 74 stores the notification information (monitoring information and estimation result of the cause of the blocking operation) in the ring buffer. The storage unit 74 overwrites the oldest monitoring information with the latest monitoring information. may be stored. In addition, the output unit 713 causes the storage unit 74 to store the notification information so as not to overwrite the monitoring information of the circuit breaker 2 that performed the breaking operation when the breaking operation is performed by one of the circuit breakers 2. good too. In other words, the collection unit 712 stores at least monitoring information about the circuit breaker 2 that has performed the breaking operation among the plurality of circuit breakers 2 .

In addition, the output unit 713 transmits the notification information read from the storage unit 74 to the notification unit 73 at the timing of notifying the user of the distribution board 1 of the notification information (monitoring information and estimation result of the cause of the interruption operation). A notification operation of outputting the notification information and notifying the notification information by the notification unit 73 is performed. Here, the timing at which the notification unit 73 notifies the notification information is, for example, a predetermined period after any one of the circuit breakers 2 performs the breaking operation. The timing of notifying the notification information may be the timing at which the user of the distribution board 1 re-closes the circuit breaker 2 that has performed the breaking operation after any circuit breaker 2 has performed the breaking operation. The output unit 713 detects the presence of a person around the distribution board cabinet 10 after any of the circuit breakers 2 performs the breaking operation. Notification information may be notified at the timing of detection. The human sensor is, for example, an infrared sensor that detects infrared rays emitted from the human body. A sensor that detects the presence of a person may also be used. In addition, the output unit 713 outputs the notification information at the timing when, for example, the sensor for detecting opening/closing of the lid 13 detects that the lid 13 is opened after any circuit breaker 2 performs the breaking operation. may notify you.

In this way, since the notification unit 73 notifies the notification information, the user of the distribution board 1 confirms the notification information (monitoring information and estimation result of the cause of the interruption operation) notified from the notification unit 73. be able to. Therefore, the user of the distribution board 1 can grasp the cause of the interruption operation based on the notification information notified from the notification unit 73 before performing the work to restore the circuit breaker 2 that has performed the interruption operation. become. Therefore, the user of the distribution board 1 can understand the cause of the breaking operation, and then perform recovery work or the like for the circuit breaker 2 that has performed the breaking operation.

Note that even when the master breaker 3 performs a cutoff operation, power is supplied to the measurement adapter 7 from the primary side of the master breaker 3. A notification operation for notifying notification information can be performed. In addition, since power is supplied from the backup power supply 9 to the measurement adapter 7 in the event of a power failure of the system power supply 20, the collection operation of collecting monitoring information by the collection unit 712 and the notification operation of notifying the notification information by the notification unit 73 are performed.

Here, the mobile terminal 400 is a terminal carried by the user of the distribution board 1, such as a smart phone or a tablet computer.

The notification unit 73 includes a light-emitting display unit 731 provided on the measurement adapter 7 and a speaker. The notification unit 73 uses the light-emitting display unit 731 (see FIG. 2) and a speaker to perform notification based on the notification information (monitoring information and estimated result of the cause of the blocking operation) stored in the storage unit 74 . The light-emitting display unit 731 includes, for example, a plurality of light-emitting diodes whose emission colors are classified according to the cause of the cutoff operation. The light-emitting display section 731 is provided on the surface of the measurement adapter 7 at a portion exposed from the opening of the front surface 121 of the cover 12 . The notification unit 73 emits light from a light-emitting diode of a color corresponding to the cause of the blocking operation, based on the notification information output from the output unit 713, for example. In addition, based on the notification information output from the output unit 713, the notification unit 73 causes the speaker to output a voice message that notifies the cause of the blocking operation by voice. As described above, in the present embodiment, the notification unit 73 notifies the notification information by both light and sound. good.

The storage unit 74 includes, for example, electrically rewritable nonvolatile memory such as EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory) and volatile memory such as RAM (Random Access Memory). The storage unit 74 stores information such as monitoring information collected by the collection unit 712 . In this embodiment, the data storage unit is the storage unit 74 provided in the distribution board 1 .

(2.2) Operation The operation of the monitoring system 100 of this embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

The collection unit 712 of the monitoring system 100 (measurement adapter 7) periodically performs a collection process of collecting monitoring information on a monitoring target including a plurality of circuit breakers 2 (S1), and stores the collected monitoring information in the storage unit 74. Remember.

Based on the monitoring information collected by the collection unit 712, the control unit 71 of the measurement adapter 7 determines whether an abnormal event such that the circuit breaker 2 performs a breaking operation has occurred (S2).

If no abnormal event has occurred (S2: No), the collection unit 712 of the measurement adapter 7 periodically performs a collection process of collecting monitoring information for a monitoring target including a plurality of circuit breakers 2 (S1). , the collected monitoring information is stored in the storage unit 74 .

On the other hand, if an abnormal event has occurred (S2: Yes), in the monitoring system 100, the collecting unit 712 collects monitoring information before any circuit breaker 2 performs the breaking operation (S3), The collected monitoring information is stored in the storage unit 74 . Further, the control unit 71 estimates the cause of the blocking operation based on the monitoring information collected by the collecting unit 712 and stores the result of estimation of the cause of the blocking operation in the storage unit 74 . Thus, when the circuit breaker 2 performs the breaking operation, the collection unit 712 collects the monitoring information, and the output unit 713 sends the notification information including the monitoring information and the estimation result of the cause of the breaking operation to the storage unit 74. Since it is stored, it is possible to save the notification information at the timing when the cutoff operation is performed. Therefore, after the circuit breaker 2 performs the breaking operation, the user of the distribution board 1 can grasp the cause of the breaking operation based on the notification information stored in the storage unit 74 . In addition, since the monitoring information also includes information about the usage status of the outlet 22 and the electrical devices 23 and 24, the user of the distribution board 1 can check the usage status of the outlet 22 and the electrical devices 23 and 24 based on the monitoring information. easier to comprehend. In addition, since the monitoring information also includes aging information of the outlet 22 and the electric devices 23 and 24, the user of the distribution board 1 can determine the degree of deterioration or replacement of the outlet 22 and the electric devices 23 and 24 based on the monitoring information. It becomes easier to grasp the time etc.

After that, when any one of the circuit breakers 2 performs a breaking operation (S4), the user of the distribution board 1 (a resident of the facility 500, etc.) can stop the operation of the electrical equipment connected to the broken circuit. Therefore, in order to confirm the state of the distribution board 1, the user moves to the place where the distribution board 1 is installed.

Here, when the human sensor provided on the distribution board 1 detects a person approaching the distribution board 1 (S5: Yes), the output unit 713 outputs the notification information stored in the storage unit 74. , performs the operation of outputting the notification information. That is, the output unit 713 outputs the notification information stored in the storage unit 74 to the notification unit 73, and the notification unit 73 notifies based on the notification information (S6). The notification unit 73, for example, based on the notification information, lights a light-emitting diode of a light-emitting color corresponding to the cause of the blocking operation, or outputs a voice message notifying the cause of the blocking operation from the speaker. process.

As a result, a user near the distribution board 1 hears the voice message output from the speaker or opens the cover 13 and sees the display by the light-emitting diode, thereby causing the circuit breaker 2 to perform the breaking operation. You can figure out what caused it. Therefore, since the user can grasp the cause of the breaking operation of the circuit breaker 2 before performing the restoration work of the circuit breaker 2, the cause of the breaking operation of the circuit breaker 2 can be eliminated. appropriate measures can be taken. For example, if the cause of the breaking action of the circuit breaker 2 is an overcurrent, the user can eliminate the cause of the breaking action by stopping the electrical equipment connected to the circuit breaker 2 that has performed the breaking action. . In addition, if the cause of the breaking operation of the circuit breaker 2 is an earth leakage, a short circuit, a phase loss in the neutral line, or the like, the user can take measures such as requesting an electrician to inspect the electric equipment safely. Available.

Although it is stored in the unit 74 , the storage location of the notification information may be outside the distribution board 1 .

For example, the output unit 713 transmits notification information (monitoring information and estimation result of the cause of the blocking operation) to the management server 300 via the communication unit 72, and causes the storage unit of the management server 300 to store the notification information. good too. That is, in Modification 2, the data storage unit is the management server (computer system) 300 that receives notification information from the output unit 713 via the wide area network (network) 200 .

Since the management server 300 is located outside the facility 500, even if a power failure occurs in an area including the facility 500, the management server 300 is less likely to be affected by the power failure and can store notification information.

When notification information is stored in the management server 300 , the user of the distribution board 1 accesses the management server 300 using the mobile terminal 400 or computer terminal and browses the notification information stored in the management server 300 . That is, when accessed from the mobile terminal 400 or the computer terminal, the management server 300 serving as the notification unit outputs the notification information stored in the storage unit to the mobile terminal 400 or the computer terminal.

In this case, application software for acquiring notification information from the monitoring system 100 and notifying the user is installed in the mobile terminal 400 . When the processor of the mobile terminal 400 executes this application software, a function of acquiring notification information from the monitoring system 100 and notifying the acquired notification information is realized.

Since the mobile terminal 400 operates by receiving power from a built-in battery, even if there is a power outage in the area including the facility 500, the mobile terminal 400 is less likely to be affected by the power outage and can store the notification information. .

When notification information is stored in the mobile terminal 400 , the user of the distribution board 1 uses the mobile terminal 400 to view the notification information stored in the storage unit of the mobile terminal 400 .

The collection unit 712 periodically collects monitoring information, and the output unit 713 causes the storage unit 74 to store the monitoring information collected by the collection unit 712 . In addition, when any circuit breaker 2 performs a breaking operation, the output unit 713 also causes the storage unit 74 to store an estimation result of estimating the cause of the breaking operation based on the monitoring information. Then, when any one of the circuit breakers 2 performs the breaking operation, the output unit 713 creates an e-mail including the notification information read from the storage unit 74, and transmits the created e-mail from the communication unit 72 to the destination. be sent to the e-mail address of At this time, the mobile terminal 400 has an e-mail reception notification, and the user of the distribution board 1 can operate the mobile terminal 400 to open the e-mail, thereby viewing the notification information contained in the e-mail. . Therefore, the user of the distribution board 1 can view the notification information using the mobile terminal 400 serving as the notification unit, and based on the monitoring information collected by the collection unit 712 and the estimation result of the cause of the interruption operation. Therefore, it becomes possible to grasp the cause of the interruption operation.

(3.4) Other Modifications In the basic example, the collection unit 712 collects monitoring information periodically, but the time interval at which the collection unit 712 collects monitoring information is fixed at a constant time. may be changed at any time. That is, the collection unit 712 can change the time interval for collecting monitoring information.

For example, when the control unit 71 determines that there is an increased possibility that any one of the circuit breakers 2 will perform a breaking operation based on the monitoring information collected by the collecting unit 712, the time interval at which the collecting unit 712 collects the monitoring information is set to , may be shorter than the normal time when the circuit breaker 2 is not performing the breaking operation.

In the basic example, the control unit 71 may use, for example, a machine-learned model to estimate the cause of the circuit breaker 2 performing the breaking operation. Note that the trained model used by the control unit 71 may be re-learnable while the monitoring system 100 is in use.

In the basic example, the notification unit 73 notifies the notification information including the monitoring information collected by the collection unit 712 and the results of the estimation of the cause of the blocking operation by the control unit 71 based on the monitoring information. It is not essential for the unit 73 to notify the estimated result of the cause of the blocking operation. The notification unit 73 may notify only the monitoring information collected by the collection unit 712, and the user of the distribution board 1 can grasp the cause of the cutoff operation based on the monitoring information notified by the notification unit 73. easier.
