Abstract
The electrical load driving apparatus includes means for alternately lowering the gate voltages of two current supply transistors connected in parallel to each other at regular time intervals, a current being supplied to an electrical load through drain-source paths of both the current supply transistors, and means for detecting wire breakage in two current supply wires in which the current supply transistors are interposed respectively at portions near the electrical load with respect to the current supply transistors based on the drain-source voltages of the current supply transistors.
