Abstract

This electric power conversion apparatus comprises a connection path (73), first restriction units (61, 62, 161, 162), and second restriction units (SMRH, DA, DB). One of the first and second restriction units has a function for restricting the flow of an electric current in a specific direction from a high-potential-side path (22H) side toward the first-restriction-unit side, and allowing the flow of an electric current in a direction opposite from the specific direction. The other of the first and second restriction units is a restriction switch (SMRH, 62, 162) that is turned on or off. The electric power conversion apparatus comprises control devices (90, 100) that, when an external electric power supply target unit (230) is electrically connected to the high-potential-side path and a low-potential-side path (22L), perform switching control for an inverter (20) in a state in which an inter-electric-power-storage-unit switch (50) is turned off and the restriction switch is turned on, thereby channeling an electric current through a closed circuit that includes the external electric power supply target unit, the connection path, an armature winding (11), and the inverter to supply electric power to the external electric power supply target unit.

Abstract

Disclosed herein is an electrical junction box capable of stably suppressing the exposure of a terminal part. This electrical junction box 10 comprises: a case 14; a terminal part 18 which is exposed from an opening 16 of the case 14 and to which an external conductive member 12 is connected; a protective cover 20 which is rotatably held by the case 14 and covers the opening 16; an engagement projection 22 provided to the protective cover 20; and an engagement wall part 24 provided to the case 14. The protective cover 20 is arranged at an open position O where the opening 16 is exposed while being separated from the opening part 16 in an initial state. The protective cover 20 is allowed to rotate to a closed position C which overlaps the opening 16 and covers the opening 16 from the open position O by the elastic deformation of the engagement projection 22 to get over the engagement wall part 24. The contact with the engagement wall part 24 by the engagement projection 22, which has gotten over the engagement wall part 24 and elastically returned, limits a rotation region R of the protective cover 20 toward the open position O side to a range in which rotation toward the closed position C by the self-weight of the protective cover 20 occurs.
