    摘要: A power supply monitoring apparatus includes: a plurality of power supplies that are connected in series; and a capacitor that is connected to each of positive and negative electrodes of the plurality of power supplies via a plurality of switch elements. The power supply monitoring apparatus determines states of the plurality of switch elements, using a voltage value of the capacitor that is acquired when a first switch element of the plurality of switch elements is turned on, the first switch element being connected to one of a total negative-electrode side and a total positive-electrode side of the plurality of power supplies.

    摘要: A weld detection apparatus is mounted on a vehicle and measures first and second voltages of a first capacitor. The first voltage is measured when the first capacitor is charged while connected in series to a power supply and a ground of a vehicle body while switches that connect the power supply to a load circuit are controlled to be in a first state. The second voltage is measured at a predetermined timing, when the first capacitor is charged while connected in series to the power supply and the ground of the vehicle body while the switches are controlled to be in a second state different from the first state. The apparatus performs a weld detection process to decide which of the switches is welded in an ON-state when a difference between the first and second voltages is equal to or smaller than a predetermined threshold value.
