Claim Text:
1. A circuit breaker controller for an electric train mounted on each vehicle of the electric train together with a receiver that detects a track antenna beacon installed at a predetermined position before and after a dead section, to control a circuit breaker provided between a power collector and a main circuit device by detecting the track antenna beacon by the receiver, the circuit breaker controller comprising: a running-position calculation unit that calculates a running position of the vehicle based on a speed of the electric train; a circuit-breaker control-position calculation unit that calculates a circuit-breaker off-control position at which the circuit breaker is off-controlled according to the speed of the electric train at a point in time at which the receiver detects the track antenna beacon installed before the dead section in a traveling direction; and a circuit breaker control unit that executes off-control of the circuit breaker at a point in time at which the running position and the circuit-breaker off-control position coincide with each other,
