A magnetizing
inrush current suppression device (6) that controls a breaker (2), wherein inter-pole capacitors (22U, 22V, 22W) are connected, and which opens / closes a connection between a
transformer (3) and a three-phase alternating-current power supply (1) so as to control magnetizing
inrush current. On the basis of the three-phase
alternating current voltages (Vtu, Vtv, Vtw) on the
transformer side of the breaker (2), the phase for which the absolute value is the largest or the phase for which the absolute value is the smallest, of the
direct current components (Zdu, Zdv, Zdw) of the three-phase
residual flux, is detected as the phase of interest. In addition, the breaker (2) is closed at the phase of interest when the phase of interest of the three-phase
alternating current voltages (Vu, Vv, Vw) on the power
supply side is a closing target phase (thetac1) having a wave-height value which is the reverse polarity of the polarity of the
direct current component (Zdu, Zdv, Zdw) of the
residual flux, and the breaker (2) is closed at the two phases other than the phase of interest when the phase of interest of the three-phase
alternating current voltages (Vu, Vv, Vw) on the power
supply side is a closing target phase (thetac2) which reaches zero after the closing target phase (thetac1).
