An overcurrent protection device includes a fuse element and an auxiliary circuit. Power is applied from a high-voltage unit of a main circuit to the fuse element. The auxiliary circuit includes a component which heats the fuse element. An amount of electric current flowing in the fuse element when the fuse element melts is controlled by heat generated by the component.
