Abstract
A current detecting apparatus comprises a determining unit which determines whether the electric potential of a first node or a second node is in a predetermined range. When the condition that the electric potential is not in the predetermined range continues longer than the predetermined period of time, the determining signal indicating the damage occurrence is outputted. Accordingly, the damage of the constituting elements can exactly be determined with the relatively simple configuration in a short time.
