Abstract
An insulation detecting device includes a flying capacitor that holds a charged voltage, and a measurement and calculation unit that measures the charged voltage of the flying capacitor and calculates a ground fault resistance formed between a direct-current power supply electrically insulated from a ground, and the ground, based on the measured voltage. The flying capacitor includes one or a plurality of first capacitors, one or a plurality of second capacitors connected with the first capacitor in parallel, and a parallel cancellation switch arranged between the first capacitor and the second capacitor, and which performs parallel connection, and cancellation of the parallel connection, between the first capacitor and the second capacitor. A capacitance of the flying capacitor is variably changed by turning on or turning off of the parallel cancellation switch.
