Power storage device discharge circuit, power storage system, and vehicle equipped with same

A discharge circuit for a power storage device including a plurality of power storage units that are electrically connected in series between a positive electrode and a negative electrode, the discharge circuit comprising

• a plurality of burden circuits that are electrically connected in parallel to the plurality of power storage units, respectively, wherein:
• each of the plurality of burden circuits includes (i) a resistor and a switch that are electrically connected in series between both ends of a corresponding one of the plurality of power storage units, and (ii) a control terminal that controls the switch according to a potential of the control terminal,
• the plurality of burden circuits are electrically connected in series between the positive electrode and the negative electrode, and
• the control terminal of a n+1-th burden circuit from a reference point among the plurality of burden circuits is electrically connected, via the switch of a n-th burden circuit from the reference point among the plurality of burden circuits, to a reference point side terminal of a n-th power storage unit from the reference point among the plurality of power storage units, the reference point being the positive electrode or the negative electrode.
