Abstract

First voltage an output unit generates a cyclic voltage that changes cyclically, and applies the cyclic voltage to the other end of a coupling capacitor via a first resistance. A second resistance and a third resistance are connected in series between a node and a second voltage output unit, the node being between the coupling capacitor and the first resistance. A voltage measurement unit measures a voltage at a voltage dividing point between the second resistance and the third resistance. In a period in which two types of fixed voltages are applied to the voltage dividing point in order, a diagnosing unit determines whether a leakage detecting device is in a normal state, based on the voltage measured by the voltage measurement unit.

Abstract

In order to quickly and accurately diagnose the failure of a coupling capacitor of an earth leakage detection device, voltage output unit (11a, OP1) generates a periodically changing periodic voltage and applies the periodic voltage to the other end of coupling capacitor (Cc) via first resistor (R1). Second resistor (R2) and third resistor (R3) are connected in series between a connection point between coupling capacitor (Cc) and first resistor (R1), and a predetermined fixed potential. Voltage measurement unit (11b) measures a voltage at a voltage dividing point between second resistor (R2) and third resistor (R3). Diagnosis unit (11d) determines whether or not coupling capacitor (Cc) is normal based on a voltage measured when switch (MRp, MRm, MRpp) is turned on in a state where voltage output unit (11a, OP1) outputs a fixed voltage.
