3. A power-saving device comprising a power adjusting unit for inputting a single-phase AC power supply and controlling and outputting a voltage of the single-phase AC power supply, wherein the AC power supply is connected between input terminals of the power adjusting unit. An input voltage detector that generates an input AC voltage detection signal that represents an AC voltage that is applied from the power adjustment unit to the power adjustment unit; and a current detection that generates an AC current detection signal that represents an output current supplied from the power adjustment unit to the load. And an output voltage detector that generates an AC voltage detection signal of an output that represents an AC voltage applied to the load from the power adjusting unit, a load on the load by multiplying the AC current detection signal and the AC voltage detection signal. By comparing the power detection signal with a multiplier that generates a power detection signal representing the supplied power and a reference value, it is determined whether the power detection signal is a positive signal or a negative signal, and the power detection signal is positive. Output If the connection of the input / output terminals of the power saving device is normal, and if the output of the negative is the abnormal connection of the input / output terminals, then a comparator is used, and the input AC voltage detection signal before adjustment A pre-adjustment voltage storage device that stores the output AC voltage detection signal and outputs a pre-adjustment voltage storage signal; a post-adjustment input AC voltage detection signal and an output AC voltage detection signal that are stored and adjusted A post-adjustment voltage storage device that outputs a voltage storage signal is compared with an input pre-adjustment voltage storage signal and an input post-adjustment voltage storage signal, and an output pre-adjustment voltage storage signal and an output post-adjustment voltage storage signal And an abnormal connection determination device that determines whether the connection is normal or abnormal based on the voltage fluctuation between the input AC voltage and the output voltage of the power adjustment unit, and outputs the determination signal, the comparator or the abnormality. On the connection determination device Power saving device according to claim the discrimination signal connection of the input and output terminals of the power saving device that a connection display device for displaying a normal connection or abnormal connection.
