An electric power source for a motor vehicle is so constructed and arranged that an interlock circuit detects a disconnected state of an interlock wire and turns off a contactor. The interlock circuit includes: a current output circuit outputting a detectable current via a diode to the interlock wire; a first current detection subcircuit connected via the interlock wire and the diode to the current output circuit; a second current detection subcircuit connected to a connection point operatively located between the current output circuit and the diode; and a judgment circuit. In the interlock circuit, when the detectable current is detected at the second current detection subcircuit and when the detectable current is not detected at the first current detection subcircuit, the judgment circuit judges the interlock wire to be in a disconnected state and cuts off the contactor.
