[Prior Art] FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a conventional overcurrent alarm device. In FIG. 1, a current sensor 1 is, for example, a current transformer, and detects the value of a current flowing through an electric line 2. As shown in FIG. The overcurrent trip device 3 trips the circuit connected to the electric line 2 and the circuit breaker 4 when the output of the current sensor 1 exceeds a predetermined value. The current detection device 5 generates an output proportional to the output of the current sensor 1 when the output of the current sensor 1 exceeds a predetermined value. The capacitor 6 is connected to the current detection device 5 and charged by the output current of the current detection device 5, and the larger the value of the current flowing through the electric line 2, the faster the capacitor 6 is charged. Comparison device 7 is capacitor 6
Compare the charging voltage of capacitor 6 with the set voltage.
When the charging voltage becomes higher than the set voltage, an output is generated. The alarm device 8 is energized by the output of the comparator 7 and generates or displays an alarm.

Next, this operation will be explained. Now, when an overcurrent flows through the electric line 2, the current sensor 1 detects this overcurrent,
The current detection device 5 generates an output proportional to the output of the current sensor 1 and charges the capacitor 6 when the output of the current sensor 1 is equal to or higher than a predetermined value. Therefore, the higher the overcurrent value is, the faster the charging speed of the capacitor 6 is, and the higher the overcurrent value is, the faster the comparator 7 produces an output with a shorter delay time and energizes the alarm device 8. On the other hand, when the output of the current sensor 1 exceeds a predetermined value, the overcurrent tripping device 3 trips the circuit breaker 4 and interrupts the current flowing through the electric line 2. Therefore, the current sensor 1 produces no output and the alarm device 8 is deenergized.
