Claim 19:
20. A control system for controlling an interrupter, the interrupter being configured to be started by a startup current to interrupt a main electric circuit, the startup current flowing through an auxiliary electric circuit and having a current valve equal to or greater than a predetermined value, the control system comprising:
a driving unit including an intermediate electrical path to be connected to the main electric circuit; and
a driven unit to be connected to the auxiliary electric circuit,
wherein the driving unit is configured to, when an abnormal current having a current value equal to or greater than a prescribed value flows through the intermediate electrical path, use, as a drive source for driving the driven unit, the abnormal current flowing through the intermediate electrical path,
the driven unit is configured to supply the auxiliary electric circuit with the startup current by being driven by the driving unit,
the control system includes a first driving unit serving as the driving unit and a second driving unit,
the control system includes a first driven unit serving as the driven unit and a second driven unit,
the second driving unit includes a second intermediate electrical path to be connected to the main electric circuit,
the second driven unit is to be connected to the auxiliary electric circuit,
the second driving unit is configured to use the abnormal current as a drive source for driving the second driven unit when the abnormal current flows through the second intermediate electrical path, and
the second driven unit is configured to supply the startup current to the auxiliary electric circuit by being driven by the second driving unit.
