The invention provides a
communication device and a communication method, the
communication device comprises a positive input end, a negative input end, a pre-stage circuit device and a post-stage circuit device, one end of the post-stage circuit device is connected with an output end of the pre-stage circuit device, and the other end of the post-stage circuit device is connected with the negative input end. The preceding-stage circuit device comprises a controller and a switching device, the positive input end is connected with the first end of the switching device, the second end of the switching device is connected with the controller, the third end of the switching device is connected with a ground wire, and the controller is used for detecting the
voltage difference between the first end and the third end of the switching device; and controlling the switch-on or switch-off of the switching device according to the
voltage difference. Based on the above technical problem, the problem of
short circuit to ground caused by
reverse connection between the RTN of the power
distribution system and the-48V of the
communication device can be solved, and the problem of
carbonization or burning of parts such as a single board, a cable and a device caused by
short circuit to ground is further avoided.
