Electric charging apparatus and operation method thereof

An electric charging apparatus is provided. The electric charging apparatus includes a ground determination signal generating unit measuring a current signal or voltage signal that is generated from power applied from a power supply unit, the ground determination signal generating unit generating a signal for determining whether the power supply unit is normally grounded on the basis of the current or voltage signal, a power control unit generating a power control signal on the basis of a ground determination detecting signal generated from the ground determination signal generating unit, and a power cutoff unit cutting power supply to a target device to be charged on the basis of the power control signal.
