Abstract
A power supply unit includes a conversion circuit that performs power conversion of power input into the power supply unit to supply direct-current power to an output path of the power supply unit, a control circuit that controls the conversion circuit so that output voltage supplied from the conversion circuit to the output path has a fixed value if output current supplied from the conversion circuit to the output path is lower than or equal to an overcurrent trip point and controls the conversion circuit so that the output voltage is decreased if the output current exceeds the overcurrent trip point, a monitoring circuit that monitors a discharge output from a discharge circuit to the output path, and a trip point changing circuit that increases the overcurrent trip point if the discharge output monitored by the monitoring circuit is decreased to a threshold value.
