Abstract
A discharge device includes a power supply device supplying AC power for generating a discharge in a clearance to a discharge load having a high-voltage electrode and a grounding electrode arranged to face the high-voltage electrode with the clearance and connected to a ground GND and having a connection state detector detecting a connection state of an output path of AC power, and a controller controlling the power supply device by determining the existence of an abnormality in the connection state and deciding whether AC power can be supplied or not. In the case where a disconnection or a connection failure occurs in the output path of AC power to be supplied from the discharge device to the discharge load, apparatuses included in the discharge device are protected from damage as well as occurrence of a secondary disaster can be prevented and suppressed.
