Abstract
An electric suspension apparatus includes a return prevention circuit and a discharge controller. The return prevention circuit is configured to operate in one of operation modes including a return prevention mode of preventing a current from flowing from power storage to a power supply and a return allowance mode of allowing a current to flow from the power storage to the power supply. The discharge controller is configured to determine whether an electric motor is in regenerative operation. In response to determining that the electric motor is in regenerative operation, the discharge controller is configured to set the return prevention circuit to operate in the return prevention mode. In response to determining that the electric motor is not in regenerative operation, the discharge controller is configured to set the return prevention circuit to operate in the return allowance mode.
