Abstract

An electric discharge machining apparatus for supplying machining electric power to a gap between an electrode () and a workpiece (). The apparatus includes a gap dimension detection device () for detecting a dimension of the gap, a gap average voltage detection device () for detecting an average voltage of the gap, a gap dimension correction device () for correcting the dimension of the gap, and a gap dimension correction starting device () for starting the gap dimension correction device () when a first comparison between a detected gap dimension and a predetermined allowable value and a second comparison between a detected gap average voltage and a predetermined reference average voltage are made and the gap dimension detected by the first comparison is larger than the predetermined allowable value and the gap average voltage detected by the second comparison is smaller than the predetermined reference average voltage.
