An over-current detecting apparatus for a switching element (1) includes a reference power source (7), a comparator circuit (8), a current converting element (6), a first resistor (R3), and a second resistor (R2). The comparator circuit (8) includes a first input terminal that receives a voltage corresponding to a current flowing in the switching element and a second input terminal that receives a reference voltage supplied from the reference power source (7). The current converting element (6) converts a voltage of a temperature detecting element (4) that detects a temperature of the switching element (1) into a current corresponding to the voltage of the temperature detecting element (4). The first resistor (R3) is connected in series to a reference power supply side of the second input terminal of the comparator circuit (8). The second resistor (R2) is connected in series to a ground side of the second input terminal of the comparator circuit (8). |
