Provided is an electrical
discharge detection
system comprising a master breaker 10, a plurality of
branch breakers 20, a plurality of electrical
discharge detection units 30, and at least one current-limiting
resistor 33, wherein: each of the
branch breakers 20 is configured so as to block a circuit on the basis of the difference in current value between the current I1 flowing in a first
electrode and the current I2 flowing in a second
electrode; each of the electrical
discharge detection units 30 is provided with an electrical discharge detection part 31 and a switch 32; the electrical discharge detection parts 31 are configured so as to detect
noise superposed on a
voltage or current; the switches 32 are electrically connected to the first electrodes of the
branch breakers 20; the secondary sides of the switches 32 in each of the electrical discharge detection units 30 are electrically connected to shared wiring 83, 81; the wiring 81 is electrically connected to an
electrode, among a plurality of electrodes in the master breaker 10, that is different from the electrode to which the first electrodes of the branch breakers 20 are electrically connected; and the current-limiting
resistor 33 channels a current IE, which is part of the current I1, to the wiring 83, 81 when the switches 32 are closed.
