An electrical discharge machining power supply unit which detects fluctuations in the voltage of a DC power source (3) and sends a signal to an A/D converter (5) and has a microprocessing unit (8) to change the on-time of a transistor switching element (12) in inverse proportion to the rate of voltage fluctuations computed by the microprocessing unit (8), thereby maintaining the voltage supplied across the electrode (1) and workpiece (2). In a second embodiment a pilot power supply and a current detecting element for detecting a dielectric breakdown of the gap is used.
