Effect of the Invention

[0015] According to (1) to (4), when the non-drive system electrical system does not operate using the DC power source included in the drive system electrical system, the vehicle sets the first electromagnetic contactor to a non-drive system electrical system in a non-conductive state, thereby reducing the time during which power is supplied from the drive system electrical system to the non-drive system electrical system. Also, according to (1) to (4), when the non-drive system electrical system does not operate using the power supply system, the vehicle sets the second electromagnetic contactor to a non-conductive state, thereby reducing the time during which power is supplied from the power supply system to at least one of the non-drive system electrical system and the drive system electrical system. Therefore, according to (1) to (4), the vehicle can reduce the time during which power is supplied to at least one of the electronic devices included in the non-drive system electrical system and the electronic devices included in the drive system electrical system, thereby suppressing deterioration of these electronic devices.

[0016] According to (2), the vehicle determines whether or not the driveline electrical system has a ground fault by using a first conductive state threshold set in accordance with the possible range of the stray capacitance to the ground of the driveline electrical system when the first electromagnetic contactor is in a conductive state. Also, according to (2), the vehicle determines whether or not the driveline electrical system has a ground fault by using a first non-conductive state threshold set in accordance with the possible range of the stray capacitance to the ground of the driveline electrical system when the first electromagnetic contactor is in a non-conductive state. Therefore, according to (2), the vehicle can accurately determine whether or not the driveline electrical system has a ground fault, whether or not the first electromagnetic contactor is in a conductive state or a non-conductive state.

[0017] According to (3), the vehicle determines whether or not the non-drive electrical system has a ground fault using a second conductive state threshold set in accordance with the range of possible stray capacitance to the ground of the non-drive electrical system when the second electromagnetic contactor is in a conductive state. Also, according to (3), the vehicle determines whether or not the non-drive electrical system has a ground fault using a second non-conductive state threshold set in accordance with the range of possible stray capacitance to the ground of the non-drive electrical system when the second electromagnetic contactor is in a non-conductive state. Therefore, according to (3), the vehicle can accurately determine whether or not the non-drive electrical system has a ground fault whether or not the second electromagnetic contactor is in a conductive state or a non-conductive state.

[0018] According to (5), when the non-drive system electrical system does not operate using a DC power source included in the drive system electrical system, the vehicle control device sets the first electromagnetic contactor to a non-drive system electrical system in a non-conductive state, thereby reducing the time during which power is supplied from the drive system electrical system to the non-drive system electrical system. Also, according to (5), when the non-drive system electrical system does not operate using the power supply system, the vehicle control device sets the second electromagnetic contactor to a non-conductive state, thereby reducing the time during which power is supplied from the power supply system to at least one of the non-drive system electrical system and the drive system electrical system. Therefore, according to (5), the vehicle control device reduces the time during which power is supplied to at least one of the electronic devices included in the non-drive system electrical system and the electronic devices included in the drive system electrical system, thereby suppressing deterioration of these electronic devices.

[0019] According to (6), when the non-drive system electrical system does not operate using a DC power source included in the drive system electrical system, the vehicle control program sets the first electromagnetic contactor to a non-drive system electrical system in a non-conductive state, thereby reducing the time during which power is supplied from the drive system electrical system to the non-drive system electrical system. Also, according to (6), when the non-drive system electrical system does not operate using the power supply system, the vehicle control program sets the second electromagnetic contactor to a non-conductive state, thereby reducing the time during which power is supplied from the power supply system to at least one of the non-drive system electrical system and the drive system electrical system. Therefore, according to (6), the vehicle control program reduces the time during which power is supplied to at least one of the electronic devices included in the non-drive system electrical system and the electronic devices included in the drive system electrical system, thereby suppressing deterioration of these electronic devices.

[0020] According to (7), the vehicle control method, when the non-drive system electrical system does not operate using a DC power source included in the drive system electrical system, sets the first electromagnetic contactor to a non-drive system electrical system in a non-conductive state, thereby reducing the time during which power is supplied from the drive system electrical system to the non-drive system electrical system. Also, according to (7), the vehicle control method, when the non-drive system electrical system does not operate using the power supply system, sets the second electromagnetic contactor to a non-conductive state, thereby reducing the time during which power is supplied from the power supply system to at least one of the non-drive system electrical system and the drive system electrical system. Therefore, according to (7), the vehicle control method reduces the time during which power is supplied to at least one of the electronic devices included in the non-drive system electrical system and the electronic devices included in the drive system electrical system, thereby suppressing deterioration of these electronic devices.

[0022] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, embodiments of a vehicle, a vehicle control device, a vehicle control program, and a vehicle control method according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0023] <Embodiment> First, a vehicle according to an embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 1. Fig. 1 is a diagram showing an example of a vehicle according to an embodiment. The vehicle 1 shown in Fig. 1 is, for example, an electric vehicle, a hybrid vehicle, or a fuel cell vehicle. As shown in Fig. 1, the vehicle 1 includes, for example, a drive system electrical system 10, a motor 20, drive wheels 30, a power supply system 40, an electromagnetic contactor 51, an electromagnetic contactor 52, a non-drive system electrical system 60, an electromagnetic contactor 71, and an electromagnetic contactor 72.

[0024] The drivetrain electrical system 10 is an electrical system that supplies power to a drivetrain that drives the vehicle 1. The drivetrain electrical system 10 includes, for example, a DC power supply 11, an inverter 12, an electromagnetic contactor 13, an electromagnetic contactor 14, and a first ground fault sensor 15, as shown in FIG.

[0025] The DC power supply 11 is, for example, a secondary battery such as a lithium ion battery, and generates DC power and supplies it to the inverter 12. The inverter 12 converts the DC power supplied from the DC power supply 11 into AC power and supplies it to the motor 20.

[0026] The electromagnetic contactors 13 and 14 are electrically connected to the DC power supply 11 and the inverter 12. When the DC power generated by the DC power supply 11 is supplied to at least one of the inverter 12 and the non-drive electrical system 60, the electromagnetic contactors 13 and 14 are in a conductive state in which they pass current. On the other hand, when the DC power generated by the DC power supply 11 is not supplied to either the inverter 12 or the non-drive electrical system 60, the electromagnetic contactors 13 and 14 are in a non-conductive state in which they do not pass current.

[0027] The first ground fault sensor 15 measures the stray capacitance to the ground of the drive system electrical system 10 and generates first stray capacitance to the ground data indicating the stray capacitance to the ground. The stray capacitance to the ground referred to here is, for example, the stray capacitance between the drive system electrical system 10 and the exterior of the vehicle 1. The first ground fault sensor 15 is set with a first conductive state threshold value used to determine whether or not the drive system electrical system 10 has a ground fault when the electromagnetic contactors 71 and 72, which are examples of the first electromagnetic contactors, are in a conductive state. The first ground fault sensor is set with a first non-conductive state threshold value used to determine whether or not the drive system electrical system 10 has a ground fault when the electromagnetic contactors 71 and 72, which are examples of the first electromagnetic contactors, are in a non-conductive state.

[0028] The motor 20 converts the AC power supplied from the inverter 12 into mechanical energy. This mechanical energy is transmitted to the drive wheels 30 via gears, shafts, etc. The drive wheels 30 are driven by this mechanical energy.

[0029] The power supply system 40 includes, for example, a DC power supply 41 and a power conditioner 42, as shown in FIG.

[0030] The DC power supply 41 is, for example, a solar panel or a storage battery, and generates DC power and supplies it to the inverter 12. The power conditioner 42 converts the DC power supplied from the DC power supply 41 into AC power and supplies it to the non-drive electrical system 60. Note that the power supply system 40 may be installed not in the vehicle 1 but in a house or the like.

[0031] 1, the electromagnetic contactors 51 and 52 are electrically connected to the power supply system 40 and the non-drive system electrical system 60. When the power supply system 40 supplies AC power generated by the power supply system 40 to at least one of the drive system electrical system 10 and the non-drive system electrical system 60, the electromagnetic contactors 51 and 52 are in a conductive state in which they pass current. On the other hand, when the power supply system 40 does not supply AC power generated by the power supply system 40 to either the drive system electrical system 10 or the non-drive system electrical system 60, the electromagnetic contactors 51 and 52 are in a non-conductive state in which they do not pass current. In addition, both the electromagnetic contactors 51 and 52 are examples of second electromagnetic contactors.

[0032] The non-drive electrical system 60 is an electrical system that supplies power to a non-drive system that is used for purposes other than driving the vehicle 1. The non-drive electrical system 60 includes, for example, an auxiliary device 61, a charger 62, and a second ground fault sensor 63, as shown in FIG.

[0033] The auxiliary equipment 61 is a device used for purposes other than driving the vehicle 1. Examples of the auxiliary equipment 61 include an air conditioner, an audio system, a radio, and a touch panel display. The charger 62 is used for charging the DC power supply 11.

[0034] The second ground fault sensor 63 measures the floating capacitance to the ground of the non-drive electrical system 60 and generates second floating capacitance to the ground data indicating the floating capacitance to the ground. The floating capacitance to the ground referred to here is, for example, the floating capacitance between the non-drive electrical system 60 and the exterior of the vehicle 1. The second ground fault sensor 63 is set with a second conductive state threshold value used for determining whether or not the non-drive electrical system 60 has a ground fault when the electromagnetic contactor 51 and the electromagnetic contactor 52, which are examples of the second electromagnetic contactor, are in a conductive state. The second ground fault sensor 63 is set with a second non-conductive state threshold value used for determining whether or not the non-drive electrical system 60 has a ground fault when the electromagnetic contactor 51 and the electromagnetic contactor 52, which are examples of the second electromagnetic contactor, are in a non-conductive state.

[0035] 1, the electromagnetic contactors 71 and 72 are electrically connected to the drive system electrical system 10 and the non-drive system electrical system 60. The electromagnetic contactors 71 and 72 are in a conductive state in which they pass current when the DC power generated by the DC power source 11 is supplied to the non-drive system electrical system 60 or when the DC power source 11 is charged using the charger 62. On the other hand, the electromagnetic contactors 71 and 72 are in a non-conductive state in which they do not pass current when the DC power generated by the DC power source 11 is not supplied to the non-drive system electrical system 60 or when the DC power source 11 is not charged using the charger 62. Both the electromagnetic contactors 71 and 72 are examples of first electromagnetic contactors.

[0036] Furthermore, the drive system electrical system 10, the power supply system 40, and the non-drive system electrical system 60 may each be realized as a module with electronic components mounted on a single board, or may be realized by mounting electronic components on each of multiple boards. However, if at least one of the drive system electrical system 10, the power supply system 40, and the non-drive system electrical system 60 is realized as a module, there is an advantage in that inspection, repair, replacement, etc. of these systems become easier.

[0037] Next, a hardware configuration of a vehicle control device according to an embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 2. Fig. 2 is a diagram showing an example of a hardware configuration of a vehicle control device according to an embodiment. The vehicle control device 80 shown in Fig. 2 is, for example, an electronic control unit (ECU) mounted on a vehicle 1. The vehicle control device 80 includes, for example, a processor 81, an input interface 82, an output interface 83, and a storage device 84, as shown in Fig. 2.

[0038] The processor 81 is, for example, a central processing unit (CPU), which reads and executes a vehicle control program 800 described below to realize each function of the vehicle control device 80. The processor 81 may also read and execute a program other than the vehicle control program 800 to realize each function of the vehicle 1.

[0039] The input interface 82 is an interface circuit for receiving data from electronic control units other than the vehicle control device 80, sensors mounted on the vehicle 1, etc. The input interface 82 receives data transmitted via a CAN (Controller Area Network), a LIN (Local Interconnect Network), etc.

[0040] The output interface 83 is an interface circuit for transmitting data indicating the results of calculations performed by the processor 81 based on the data received by the input interface 82. The output interface 83 transmits data transmitted via CAN, LIN, etc.

[0041] The storage device 84 is, for example, a RAM (Random Access Memory), and stores in advance the vehicle control program 800 and other programs that are read and executed by the processor 81. The storage device 84 may also have a storage area in which data indicating the results of calculations performed by the processor 81 is stored.

[0042] Next, a software configuration of the vehicle control device according to the embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 3. Fig. 3 is a diagram showing an example of the software configuration of the vehicle control device according to the embodiment. As shown in Fig. 3, the vehicle control device 80 is mounted on the vehicle 1, and includes an electromagnetic contactor control unit 810, a first ground fault determination unit 821, and a second ground fault determination unit 822.

[0043] At least a part of the functions of the vehicle control device 80 is realized, for example, by a processor 81, which is hardware, executing a vehicle control program 800, which is software. Also, at least a part of the functions of the vehicle control device 80 may be realized by hardware (including circuitry) such as an LSI (Large Scale Integration), an ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit), an FPGA (Field-Programmable Gate Array), or a GPU (Graphics Processing Unit), or may be realized by a combination of software and hardware.

[0044] The electromagnetic contactor control unit 810 determines whether the non-drive electrical system 60 operates using the DC power source 11 included in the drive electrical system 10 .

[0045] Examples of cases in which the non-drive electrical system 60 operates using the DC power source 11 include cases in which the DC power source 41 is a solar power generation panel and the vehicle 1 is traveling at night, in rainy weather, or the like, and therefore the DC power source 41 cannot generate DC power. Another such case includes cases in which the DC power source 41 is a storage battery and the charging rate (SOC: State Of Charge) of the storage battery is equal to or lower than a predetermined charging rate, and therefore the DC power source 41 cannot supply sufficient DC power to run the vehicle 1. Another such case includes cases in which the ignition of the vehicle 1 is on. Another such case includes cases in which a human presence sensor mounted on the vehicle 1 detects the presence of a human in the vehicle 1. In these cases, for example, the electromagnetic contactor control unit 810 determines that the non-drive electrical system 60 operates using the DC power source 11.

[0046] On the other hand, the non-drive electrical system 60 does not operate using the DC power source 11 when, for example, the DC power source 41 is a solar panel and the vehicle 1 is running during daytime on a sunny day, so that the DC power source 41 can generate DC power. Alternatively, such a case may be when the DC power source 41 is a storage battery and the state of charge (SOC) of the storage battery exceeds a predetermined state of charge, so that the DC power source 41 can supply sufficient DC power to run the vehicle 1. Alternatively, such a case may be when the ignition of the vehicle 1 is off. Alternatively, such a case may be when a human presence sensor mounted on the vehicle 1 does not detect the presence of a human in the vehicle 1. In these cases, for example, the electromagnetic contactor control unit 810 determines that the non-drive electrical system 60 does not operate using the DC power source 11.

[0047] Then, when the electromagnetic contactor control unit 810 determines that the non-drive system electrical system 60 operates using the DC power source 11 included in the drive system electrical system 10, it executes a first control process to bring the electromagnetic contactors 71 and 72, which are examples of a first electromagnetic contactor, into a conductive state.

[0048] On the other hand, when the electromagnetic contactor control unit 810 determines that the non-drive system electrical system 60 does not operate using the DC power source 11 included in the drive system electrical system 10, it executes a first control process to bring the electromagnetic contactors 71 and 72, which are examples of the first electromagnetic contactor, into a non-conductive state.

[0049] Further, the electromagnetic contactor control unit 810 determines whether the non-drive electrical system 60 operates using the power supply system 40 or not.

[0050] An example of a case where the non-drive electrical system 60 operates using the power supply system 40 is when the vehicle 1 is used as a room while the auxiliary equipment 61 is in use with the vehicle 1 stopped. Another example of such a case is when the DC power supply 41 is a solar panel and the vehicle 1 is running during daytime on a sunny day, etc., so that the DC power supply 41 can generate DC power. Another example of such a case is when the DC power supply 41 is a storage battery and the charging rate of the storage battery exceeds a predetermined charging rate, so that the DC power supply 41 can supply sufficient DC power to run the vehicle 1. In these cases, for example, the electromagnetic contactor control unit 810 determines that the non-drive electrical system 60 operates using the power supply system 40.

[0051] On the other hand, examples of cases in which the non-drive electrical system 60 does not operate using the power supply system 40 include a case in which the DC power supply 41 is a solar power generation panel and the vehicle 1 is traveling at night, in the rain, or the like, and therefore the DC power supply 41 is unable to generate DC power. Another such case includes a case in which the DC power supply 41 is a storage battery and the charging rate of the storage battery is equal to or lower than a predetermined charging rate, and therefore the DC power supply 41 is unable to supply sufficient DC power to run the vehicle 1. In these cases, for example, the electromagnetic contactor control unit 810 determines that the non-drive electrical system 60 does not operate using the power supply system 40.

[0052] Then, when the electromagnetic contactor control unit 810 determines that the non-drive electrical system 60 operates using the power supply system 40, it executes a second control process to bring the electromagnetic contactor 51 and the electromagnetic contactor 52, which are examples of the second electromagnetic contactor, into a conductive state.

[0053] On the other hand, when the electromagnetic contactor control unit 810 determines that the non-drive electrical system 60 does not operate using the power supply system 40, it executes a second control process to bring the electromagnetic contactors 51 and 52, which are examples of the second electromagnetic contactor, into a non-conductive state.

[0054] In addition, for example, when the vehicle 1 is driven while operating the auxiliary equipment 61 using both the DC power source 11 and the power supply system 40, the electromagnetic contactor control unit 810 places the electromagnetic contactor 51, the electromagnetic contactor 52, the electromagnetic contactor 71 and the electromagnetic contactor 72 in a conductive state.

[0055] The first ground fault determination unit 821 determines whether or not the first electromagnetic contactor is in a conductive state. That is, the first ground fault determination unit 821 determines whether or not the electromagnetic contactor 71 and the electromagnetic contactor 72 are in a conductive state.

[0056] When the first ground fault judgment unit 821 judges that the electromagnetic contactor 71 and the electromagnetic contactor 72 are in a conductive state, it judges whether the ground stray capacitance of the drive system electrical system 10 measured by the first ground fault sensor 15 exceeds the first conductive state threshold value based on the above-mentioned first ground stray capacitance data.

[0057] When the first ground fault determination unit 821 determines that the stray capacitance to ground of the drive system electrical system 10 measured by the first ground fault sensor 15 exceeds the first conduction state threshold, it determines that the drive system electrical system 10 has a ground fault. On the other hand, when the first ground fault determination unit 821 determines that the stray capacitance to ground of the drive system electrical system 10 measured by the first ground fault sensor 15 is equal to or smaller than the first conduction state threshold, it determines that the drive system electrical system 10 does not have a ground fault.

[0058] On the other hand, when the first earth fault judgment unit 821 judges that the electromagnetic contactor 71 and the electromagnetic contactor 72 are in a non-conductive state, it judges whether the earth stray capacitance of the drive system electrical system 10 measured by the first earth fault sensor 15 exceeds the first non-conductive state threshold value based on the above-mentioned first earth stray capacitance data.

[0059] When the first ground fault determination unit 821 determines that the stray capacitance to ground of the drive system electrical system 10 measured by the first ground fault sensor 15 exceeds the first non-conductive state threshold, it determines that the drive system electrical system 10 has a ground fault. On the other hand, the first ground fault determination unit 821 determines that the drive system electrical system 10 does not have a ground fault.

[0060] The second ground fault determination unit 822 determines whether or not the second electromagnetic contactor is in a conductive state. That is, the second ground fault determination unit 822 determines whether or not the electromagnetic contactor 51 and the electromagnetic contactor 52 are in a conductive state.

[0061] When the second earth fault judgment unit 822 judges that the electromagnetic contactor 51 and the electromagnetic contactor 52 are in a conductive state, it judges whether the earth stray capacitance of the non-drive electrical system 60 measured by the second earth fault sensor 63 exceeds the second conductive state threshold value based on the above-mentioned second earth stray capacitance data.

[0062] When the second ground fault determination unit 822 determines that the stray capacitance to ground of the non-drive electrical system 60 measured by the second ground fault sensor 63 exceeds the second conduction state threshold, it determines that a ground fault has occurred in the drive electrical system 10. On the other hand, when the second ground fault determination unit 822 determines that the stray capacitance to ground of the non-drive electrical system 60 measured by the second ground fault sensor 63 is equal to or less than the second conduction state threshold, it determines that a ground fault has not occurred in the drive electrical system 10.

[0063] On the other hand, when the second earth fault judgment unit 822 judges that the electromagnetic contactor 51 and the electromagnetic contactor 52 are in a non-conductive state, it judges whether the earth stray capacitance of the non-drive electrical system 60 measured by the second earth fault sensor 63 exceeds the second non-conductive state threshold value based on the above-mentioned second earth stray capacitance data.

[0064] When the second ground fault determination unit 822 determines that the stray capacitance to ground of the non-drive electrical system 60 measured by the second ground fault sensor 63 exceeds the second non-conductivity state threshold, it determines that the non-drive electrical system 60 has a ground fault.

[0074] In step S61, the first ground fault determination unit 821 determines whether the first electromagnetic contactor is in a conductive state. That is, the first ground fault determination unit 821 determines whether the electromagnetic contactor 71 and the electromagnetic contactor 72 are in a conductive state. If the first ground fault determination unit 821 determines that the first electromagnetic contactor is in a conductive state (step S61: YES), the process proceeds to step S62. On the other hand, if the first ground fault determination unit 821 determines that the first electromagnetic contactor is in a non-conductive state (step S61: NO), the process proceeds to step S65.

[0075] In step S62, the first ground fault determination unit 821 determines whether the stray ground capacitance of the drive system electrical system 10 measured by the first ground fault sensor 15 exceeds the first conduction state threshold. If the first ground fault determination unit 821 determines that the stray ground capacitance of the drive system electrical system 10 measured by the first ground fault sensor 15 exceeds the first conduction state threshold (step S62: YES), the process proceeds to step S63. On the other hand, if the first ground fault determination unit 821 determines that the stray ground capacitance of the drive system electrical system 10 measured by the first ground fault sensor 15 is equal to or smaller than the first conduction state threshold (step S62: NO), the process proceeds to step S64.

[0080] In step S67, the first ground fault determination unit 821 determines that the drive electrical system 10 does not have a ground fault.

[0081] Next, a process executed by the second ground fault determination unit according to the embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 7. Fig. 7 is a flowchart showing an example of a process executed by the second ground fault determination unit according to the embodiment.

[0082] In step S71, the second ground fault determination unit 822 determines whether the second electromagnetic contactor is in a conductive state. That is, the second ground fault determination unit 822 determines whether the electromagnetic contactor 51 and the electromagnetic contactor 52 are in a conductive state. If the second ground fault determination unit 822 determines that the second electromagnetic contactor is in a conductive state (step S71: YES), the process proceeds to step S72. On the other hand, if the second ground fault determination unit 822 determines that the second electromagnetic contactor is in a non-conductive state (step S71: NO), the process proceeds to step S75.

[0083] In step S72, the second ground fault determination unit 822 determines whether the stray ground capacitance of the non-drive electrical system 60 measured by the second ground fault sensor 63 exceeds the second conduction state threshold. If the second ground fault determination unit 822 determines that the stray ground capacitance of the non-drive electrical system 60 measured by the second ground fault sensor 63 exceeds the second conduction state threshold (step S72: YES), the process proceeds to step S73. On the other hand, if the second ground fault determination unit 822 determines that the stray ground capacitance of the non-drive electrical system 60 measured by the second ground fault sensor 63 is equal to or less than the second conduction state threshold (step S72: NO), the process proceeds to step S74.

[0084] In step S73, the second ground fault determination unit 822 determines that a ground fault has occurred in the non-drive electrical system 60.

[0085] In step S74, the second ground fault determiner 822 determines that the non-drive electrical system 60 does not have a ground fault.

[0086] In step S75, the second ground fault determination unit 822 determines whether the stray ground capacitance of the non-drive electrical system 60 measured by the second ground fault sensor 63 exceeds the second non-conductivity state threshold. If the second ground fault determination unit 822 determines that the stray ground capacitance of the non-drive electrical system 60 measured by the second ground fault sensor 63 exceeds the second non-conductivity state threshold (step S75: YES), the process proceeds to step S76. On the other hand, if the second ground fault determination unit 822 determines that the stray ground capacitance of the non-drive electrical system 60 measured by the second ground fault sensor 63 is equal to or smaller than the second non-conductivity state threshold (step S75: NO), the process proceeds to step S77.

[0087] In step S76, the second ground fault determination unit 822 determines that a ground fault has occurred in the non-drive electrical system 60.

[0088] In step S77, the second ground fault determiner 822 determines that the non-drive electrical system 60 does not have a ground fault.

[0089] The vehicle 1 and the vehicle control device 80 according to the embodiment have been described above. The vehicle control device 80 executes a first control process that sets the first electromagnetic contactor to a non-conductive state when the non-drive system electrical system 60 does not operate using the DC power source 11 included in the drive system electrical system 10. As a result, when the non-drive system electrical system 60 does not operate using the DC power source 11 included in the drive system electrical system 10, the vehicle 1 sets the first electromagnetic contactor to a non-conductive state, thereby reducing the time during which power is supplied from the drive system electrical system 10 to the non-drive system electrical system 60.

[0090] Furthermore, the vehicle control device 80 executes a second control process in which the second electromagnetic contactor is brought into a non-conductive state when the non-drive electrical system 60 does not operate using the power supply system 40. When the non-drive system electrical system 60 does not operate using the power supply system 40, the vehicle 1 places the second electromagnetic contactor in a non-conductive state, thereby reducing the time during which power is supplied from the power supply system 40 to at least one of the non-drive system electrical system 60 and the drive system electrical system 10.

[0091] Therefore, the vehicle 1 can reduce the time that power is supplied to at least one of the electronic devices included in the non-drive electrical system 60 and the electronic devices included in the drive electrical system 10, thereby suppressing deterioration of these electronic devices.

[0092] When the first electromagnetic contactor is in a conductive state, the first ground fault determination unit 821 determines that the drive system electrical system 10 has a ground fault if the stray capacitance to the ground of the drive system electrical system 10 measured by the first ground fault sensor 15 included in the drive system electrical system 10 exceeds a first conductive state threshold. As a result, the vehicle 1 determines whether or not the drive system electrical system 10 has a ground fault using the first conductive state threshold set in accordance with the possible range of the stray capacitance to the ground of the drive system electrical system 10 when the first electromagnetic contactor is in a conductive state.

[0093] On the other hand, when the first electromagnetic contactor is in a non-conductive state, the first ground fault determination unit 821 determines that the drivetrain electrical system 10 has a ground fault if the stray capacitance to the ground of the drivetrain electrical system 10 measured by the first ground fault sensor 15 exceeds a first non-conductive state threshold different from the first conductive state threshold. As a result, the vehicle 1 determines whether or not the drivetrain electrical system 10 has a ground fault using the first non-conductive state threshold set in accordance with the possible range of the stray capacitance to the ground of the drivetrain electrical system 10 when the first electromagnetic contactor is in a non-conductive state.

[0094] Therefore, the vehicle 1 can accurately determine whether or not a ground fault has occurred in the drive system electrical system 10, regardless of whether the first electromagnetic contactor is in a conductive state or a non-conductive state.

[0095] When the second electromagnetic contactor is in a conductive state, the second ground fault determination unit 822 determines that the non-drive electrical system 60 has a ground fault if the stray capacitance to the ground of the non-drive electrical system 60 measured by the second ground fault sensor 64 included in the non-drive electrical system 60 exceeds the second conductive state threshold. As a result, the vehicle 1 determines whether or not the non-drive electrical system 60 has a ground fault using the second conductive state threshold set in accordance with the possible range of the stray capacitance to the ground of the non-drive electrical system 60 when the second electromagnetic contactor is in a conductive state.

[0096] On the other hand, when the second electromagnetic contactor is in a non-conductive state, the second ground fault determination unit 822 determines that the non-drive electrical system 60 has a ground fault if the stray capacitance to the ground of the non-drive electrical system 60 measured by the second ground fault sensor 64 exceeds a second non-conductive state threshold different from the second conductive state threshold. As a result, the vehicle 1 determines whether or not the non-drive electrical system 60 has a ground fault using the second non-conductive state threshold set in accordance with the possible range of the stray capacitance to the ground of the non-drive electrical system 60 when the second electromagnetic contactor is in a non-conductive state.

[0097] Therefore, the vehicle 1 can accurately determine whether or not a ground fault has occurred in the non-drive electrical system 60, regardless of whether the second electromagnetic contactor is in a conductive state or a non-conductive state.
