Abstract
A power supply line is wired in a loop from a battery power supply, and a supply relay circuit is installed intermediatly of the power supply line such that power is supplied from the supply relay circuit to an electric load connected to a terminal unit of an intensive wiring line. By this arrangement, not only wires for control signals but also wires for power supply can be reduced. The terminal unit may serve also as the power supply relay circuit.
