1. A ground-fault detecting device, comprising:

  • a power source, electrically insulated from a vehicle body;

    a pulse signal generator, generating a pulse signal having a high level and a low level which appear repeatedly in a prescribed cycle;

    a detection resistor, connected to the pulse signal generator and the power source;

    a coupling capacitor, connected to the detecting resistor in series;

    an integrator, integrating a difference between a first reference voltage and a detection voltage of the pulse signal at a connecting point of the detection resistor and the coupling capacitor over an integration interval; and

    a ground-fault determinant, judging whether a ground fault has occurred on the basis of an output of the integrator,wherein the integration interval has at least part of a high-level interval or a low-level interval of the pulse signal.
