An electric car control apparatus with which it is possible to make the size of equipment small. The control apparatus includes current detectors for respectively detecting currents flowing through collector shoes mounted on a leading car; a no-current indicator for outputting a no-current signal when the currents detected by these current detectors are zero; a no-current train line for transmitting the no-current signal to the following car; and disconnection timer mounted on each of the cars for, when inputting a speed signal and a no-current signal, in correspondence with the speed of the cars outputting a disconnection signal for causing a connector to disconnect after a predetermined time such that it is possible to determine that there is a dead section or gap.
