The tripping switch 11 and the closing switch 12 are respectively connected to the simulated contact 22 via wires. The relay 21 is connected to the display unit 40 and the signal acquisition unit 30 in sequence via wires. The signal acquisition unit 30 is connected to the tripping switch 11 and the closing switch 12 via wires.
