Abstract:
A current control device wherein a control unit instructs a drive circuit to switch on or off a FET provided in a current path is provided. Based on a detected voltage value detected by a voltage detection unit and a detected current value detected by a current sensor, the control unit estimates a resistance value in the current path after the time at which the detection is performed. The control unit calculates a resistance value by dividing a voltage value associated with the detected voltage value by a current value associated with the detected current value. Based on the estimated resistance value and a resistance value calculated using a voltage value and a current value respectively associated with a detected voltage value and a detected current value detected again after the time at which the detection was performed, the control unit determines whether or not to turn off the FET.

Claim (Index 1):
A current control device for a vehicle for controlling a current flowing in a current path from a battery to a load by switching on or off a switch provided in the current path, the current control device comprising:\n a voltage detection unit configured to detect a voltage value in the current path; a current detection unit configured to detect a value of a current flowing in the current path; an estimation unit configured to estimate a resistance value in the current path after the time at which the current detection unit and the voltage detection unit have performed the detection based on the detected voltage value detected by the voltage detection unit and the detected current value detected by the current detection unit; a resistance calculation unit configured to calculate a resistance value by dividing a voltage value associated with the detected voltage value by a current value associated with the detected current value; and a determination unit configured to determine whether or not to switch off the switch based on the resistance value estimated by the estimation unit and a resistance value calculated by the resistance calculation unit using a voltage value and a current value associated respectively with a detected voltage value and a detected current value detected again after said time.
