ABSTRACT:
A control apparatus for an internal combustion engine-driven vehicle equipped with a power supply unit having an AC generator driven by an internal combustion engine, and a power converter which converts an output voltage from the AC generator into an AC voltage of a certain frequency, which comprises a leakage detection means which detects an occurrence of electric leakage in the power supply unit, a leakage occurrence position identification means which identifies a leakage occurrence position, and an electric shock preventing control means which performs control for preventing electric shock on at least one of the internal combustion engine and the power converter, while allowing a rotational speed of the internal combustion engine to increase to a speed at which travel of the vehicle is enabled, when the occurrence of electric leakage is detected.
