Abstract

See full text

Provided is a starter motor control circuit capable of easily preventing the induction of a short-circuit current due to a ground fault in the power source line of a starter motor, in which a high current flows. A key switch (13) is connected with a battery (11), and a starter motor starting signal line (19) of a starter motor (18) is connected through a starter relay (16) with a start (ST) of the key switch (13). A protect relay (22) is disposed in a battery line (21) between the battery (11) and the starter motor (18). A ground fault detecting line (24) for detecting the ground fault of the battery line (21) is disposed between the battery line (21) and a controller (14). The controller (14) has a function to restrict the connecting actions of the starter relay (16) and the protect relay (22) when the ground fault of the battery line 21 is detected by a ground fault line (24), even if the key switch (13) is changed to the start (ST).
