Abstract:
Provided is a power supply apparatus, which is capable of saving power at the time of low output power even in a configuration using an inrush current prevention resistor and a switch as an inrush current prevention circuit in order to increase power of a low power supply. An AC/DC power supply includes a rectifier configured to rectify an input AC voltage, a smoothing capacitor configured to smooth the rectified voltage, a resistor configured to limit an inrush current input to the smoothing capacitor, a relay configured to control whether to input a current to the resistor, and a current detection circuit. The AC/DC power supply further includes a converter connected at the subsequent stage of the smoothing capacitor and configured to adjust the voltage smoothed by the smoothing capacitor to a predetermined voltage.

Claim (Index 2):
The power supply apparatus according to  claim 1 , further comprising a switch connected in parallel to the current limiter,\n wherein the controller is configured to control whether to enable the current limiter by setting the switch to one of an ON state and an OFF state based on the output power of the power supply apparatus.
