摘要:
This state determination device (20) is adapted for determining a state of a relay contact (14) among closed and open states, the relay contact being movable between the closed and open states and connected to a resonant circuit (12), the resonant circuit having a resonance frequency and including a capacitor (24) or a coil (26). The device (20) comprises a generation unit (30) for generating an alternative voltage signal and for injecting the generated voltage signal into the resonant circuit, the generated voltage signal having a generated frequency comprised between 0.9 times and 1.1 times the resonance frequency, a measuring unit (32) for measuring an electric magnitude relative to the resonant circuit impedance after injection of the generated voltage signal, and a determination unit (34) for determining, according to the measured electric magnitude, the state of the relay contact among the closed and open states.
