AC interconnection apparatus for supplying AC power from a commercial power system and from a solar cell
First Claim
1. An AC interconnection apparatus for supplying AC power to a load from a commercial power system and/or an output from a solar cell, comprising:
- a plug-shaped connection terminal for the commercial power system;
a receptacle-shaped load connection terminal; and
a solar cell connection terminal having a shape different from said plug-shaped connection terminal for the commercial power system.

Abstract
An AC interconnection apparatus has an input terminal for a commercial power system, a connection terminal to a solar cell, an output terminal connected to a load, an inverter for converting the output voltage of the solar cell into an AC voltage, and a current detector arranged on the load side of an AC connection point for connecting the AC output from the inverter and the commercial power. When a power value calculated on the basis of a current detection value by the current detector and the voltage of the commercial power system is less than the output power of the inverter, the output of the inverter is suppressed, thereby suppressing reverse power flow to the commercial power system. When the current value detected by the current detector exceeds a predetermined value, power supply to the load is stopped using a breaker.
