Abstract
Provided is a device for distributing high-voltage power for a vehicle which supplies the main power of the vehicle to the electronic devices mounted in the vehicle. More specifically, a power distribution unit includes a plurality of first interlock connectors that connect distributed power to the electronic devices through cables, respectively. Furthermore, a switching unit including switching elements is disposed between the power distribution unit and the first interlock connectors and an interlock circuit unit that is connected with the first interlock connectors and the electronic devices and is separated before the cables are separated due to separation or breaking of the first interlock connectors. A switching control unit checks or determines which electronic devices connected with the interlock circuit unit are separated and controls the switching unit so that the distributed power is not supplied to just those effected electronic devices which have been determined to be separated.
