Abstract

There is provided an overcurrent protection device configured to protect a load from an overcurrent. A first overcurrent detector configured to detect the overcurrent, based on a value of a current flowing through the load, time for which the current flows through the load, and an overcurrent cutoff characteristic upon non-operation of the load. An overcurrent breaker that cuts off the overcurrent to the load when the first overcurrent detector detects the overcurrent.
