CHARGER

To provide a charger capable of detecting whether a plurality of electric wires in a charging cable are each broken.SOLUTION: A charger 1 comprises: a charging cable 3 which includes three or more multiple electric wires; a charging gun 4 which is provided at an end part of the charging cable 3 and also connected to a vehicle; a gun holder which holds the charging gun 4 and also has a connection part 24 electrically connected to the plurality of electric wires of the charging cable 3, respectively; a detection unit 10 which detects all states of the plurality of electric wires of the charging cable 3 once signals or electric power is output to each of the plurality of electric wires with the charging gun 4 held by the holder 6; and a determination unit 21 which determines whether the plurality of electric wires are each broken based upon detection results of the detection unit 10.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2 【課題】充電ケーブル内の複数の電線の全ての断線の有無を検知することができる充電器を提供する。【解決手段】充電器１は、三以上の複数の電線を含む充電ケーブル３と、充電ケーブル３の端部に設けられていると共に車両に接続される充電ガン４と、充電ガン４を保持すると共に、充電ケーブル３の複数の電線のそれぞれと電気的に接続される接続部２４を有するガンホルダーと、充電ガン４がガンホルダー６に保持された状態において、複数の電線のそれぞれに対して信号又は電力が出力されると、充電ケーブル３の複数の電線の全ての状態を検知する検知部１０と、検知部１０における検知結果に基づいて、複数の電線のそれぞれの断線の有無を判定する判定部２１と、を備える。【選択図】図２
