Abstract
A work machine includes: a controller; a first electrical circuit provided with a first power supply that supplies power to the controller; an electric drive source necessary for operating the work machine; and a second electrical circuit provided with a second power supply that supplies power to the electric drive source. The work machine further includes: a capacitor provided to the second electrical circuit; a first precharge device that performs precharge of the capacitor by using power of the first power supply; and a second precharge device that performs precharge of the capacitor by using power of the second power supply. The controller performs precharge by using one of the precharge devices when it is determined that precharge by using the other one of the precharge devices is impossible.
