To provide a
branch-type power generation connection panel and a power
system to achieve "capacity expansion" or the like by externally attaching a housing of a power generation connection panel, which incorporates a vacuum
circuit breaker, to a side of a housing of a grid
interconnection panel with its bottom edge higher than that of the housing of the grid
interconnection panel or the like.SOLUTION: A power generation connection panel 1, which connects a power generation device P to a grid
interconnection panel C and a load L, includes a
branch electrical path 2 branched from a
bus electrical path M and connected to the power generation device P, and a vacuum
circuit breaker 3 provided in the
branch electrical path 2 in a panel housing 10 thereof, the panel housing 10 is mounted externally on a side surface of a panel housing C' of the grid interconnection panel C, and the bottom end is higher than the bottom end of the panel housing C' of the grid interconnection panel C. Furthermore, the branch electrical path 2 may be arranged internally between an upper panel housing 10A and a lower panel housing 10B, and the vacuum
circuit breaker 3 may be arranged within the upper panel housing 10A or the lower panel housing 10B, or a
disconnector 4,
current transformer 5,
overcurrent relay 6, or the like may also be included. A power
system 50 having the grid interconnection panel C, the load L, and the power generation device P may also include the branch electrical path 2, the vacuum circuit breaker 3, or the like.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
