Disconnection detection device

Abstract

A disconnection detection device that detects strand disconnection in a plurality of insulated wires each of which includes a conductor including a plurality of strands is provided with a branch portion including a common conducting path and a plurality of branched conducting paths branching out from an end portion of the common conducting path, each of the branched conducting paths being electrically connected, at an end portion, to one end of the conductor of the corresponding insulated wire, a current ratio detection unit capable of detecting a ratio of currents flowing through the plurality of branched conducting paths, and a disconnection detection processing unit that detects the strand disconnection in the plurality of insulated wires based on a detection result of the current ratio detection unit.
