Abstract
A power supply device includes a resistor that limits an electric current supplied from an AC power supply, a switching unit that is connected in parallel with the resistor, a rectifier circuit unit that is connected to a subsequent stage of the resistor and the switching unit and rectifies an AC voltage of the AC power supply, a booster circuit unit, a DC-voltage detection unit that detects a DC voltage output from the booster circuit unit, an AC voltage detection unit, a protection setting unit that compares a first protection voltage calculated on the basis of the boosting level by the booster circuit unit with a second protection voltage calculated based on the AC voltage detected by the AC-voltage detection unit and sets either one as a protection voltage, and a control unit that opens the switching unit when the DC voltage falls below the protection voltage and stops boosting.
