To turn on or off semiconductor switches based on the current-duration product of a current flowing through them, the device of the present invention detects an ambient temperature of the harness and, based on thus detected ambient temperature, corrects a detected current value to compare the current-duration product of thus corrected current value to the threshold data, so that if that product value equals or exceeds that threshold data value, the semiconductor switches are turned off, thus avoiding the affection due to the heat from the engines or the semiconductor switches to effectively prevent the harness from fuming.

A control circuit includes a drive circuit which applies a drive voltage to a semiconductor device having an overheating protection function according to an externally supplied signal; and a current detecting circuit which outputs a detection signal when a drive current flowing through the semiconductor device exceeds a predetermined threshold current. The semiconductor device incorporates a semiconductor element, a temperature detecting circuit for detecting temperature increase of a chip, and an interrupting circuit for interrupting an input to the semiconductor element according to a detection output of the temperature detecting circuit. The drive circuit turns off the semiconductor element and changes the drive voltage to a predetermined voltage so that the drive current exceeds the threshold current when the interrupting circuit interrupts an input to the semiconductor element, and keeps the drive voltage at the predetermined voltage while the detection signal is output from the current detecting circuit.
