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 5):
The power supply apparatus according to  claim 4 , wherein, in a case where the current value detected by the current detector is equal to or less than a second threshold value that is smaller than the first threshold value, the controller performs control to set the switch to the OFF state, to thereby enable the current limiter.
