A power generation device (1) includes: a power generator (10), a power conversion circuit (21), a first interruption circuit (23), a second interruption circuit (24), a first monitoring circuit (25) which monitors an output current flowing from the power generator (10) to the power conversion circuit (21) and outputs a first interruption
signal when an absolute value of the output current exceeds a first predetermined value, and a second monitoring circuit (26) which monitors a total value of output voltages of respective phases of the power generator (10) and outputs a second interruption
signal when an absolute value of the total value exceeds a second predetermined value. A first interruption circuit (23) electrically interrupts a connection between the power generator (10) and the power conversion circuit (21) in accordance with the output of the first or second interruption
signal, and the second interruption circuit (24) electrically interrupts the connection between the three-phase coils (Lu, Lv, Lw) and the neutral point (N) in accordance with the output of the first or second interruption signal.
