Abstract
A power supply apparatus including a transformer, a first rectifier smoothing unit, a separation unit, a second rectifier smoothing unit, a resistor, and a rectifier unit. The first rectifier smoothing unit is configured to rectify and smooth an alternating-current voltage generated in a secondary coil of the transformer. The separation unit configured to use the alternating-current voltage generated in the secondary coil of the transformer as an input and generate an alternating-current voltage, from which alternating-current components are separated, as an output. The second rectifier smoothing unit is configured to rectify and smooth the output of the separation unit. The resistor is connected to a line branched from a line that connects the separation unit to the second rectifier smoothing unit. The rectifier unit is connected in series between the resistor and a reference potential.
