ACCESS CONTROL METHOD FOR PARALLEL DIRECT CURRENT POWER SUPPLIES AND DEVICE THEREOF
The application provides an access control method of parallel direct current power supplies and a device thereof. Direct current power supplies with single insulation resistances to ground failing to meet a first preset condition or causing a total insulation resistances to fail to meet a second preset condition are disconnected from a grid-connected inverter, and direct current power supplies with single insulation resistance to ground meeting the first preset condition and enabling the total insulation resistance to meet the second preset condition are connected with the grid-connected inverter for grid-connected inverting. Unlike in conventional technology, not all the direct current power supplies connected to a direct current bus are made stop outputting, thereby avoiding the loss of inverter power generation.

DEVICE FOR DETECTING AND ERADICATING A LEAKAGE AND/OR STRAY CURRENT IN/FROM A WATER BODY
A device for detecting and potentially eradicating a leakage voltage from a water body comprises at least one wire sensor probe to receive the leakage voltage in the water body. The device comprises a voltage sensing circuit operable for receive the leakage voltage, and generate a voltage signal based on the leakage voltage. The device comprises a trigger circuit to receive the voltage signal, based on magnitude of the voltage signal being greater than a predefined threshold value. The trigger circuit activates an alarm circuit, and activates a circuit breaker. The circuit breaker, in response to activation of the circuit breaker, disconnects a power supply from the at least one voltage source immersed in the water body, thereby eradicating the leakage current from the water body if the leakage voltage is caused by the activated circuit breaker. The alarm circuit, in response to activation of the alarm circuit, alerts a human being about presence of the leakage voltage in the water body.

POWER SUPPLY SYSTEM, GROUND FAULT DETECTION METHOD AND PROGRAM
A feeding system that feeds power to a load includes only a single device configured to have neutral point high-resistance between a feeding line and the earth. The device functions as a ground fault overvoltage detection type of ground fault detector. The feeding system further comprises a control device. When the ground fault overvoltage detection type of ground fault detector detects a ground fault, the ground fault overvoltage detection type of ground fault detector transmits, to the control device via a signal line, a signal indicating that the ground fault has occurred. The control device instructs a breaker corresponding to the specific distributed unit in which it is determined that the ground fault has occurred to perform breaking.
