Abstract

A direct-current power supply apparatus includes: a reactor having one end connected to an alternating-current power supply; a bridge circuit, connected to an opposite end of the reactor, converting an alternating-current first voltage output from the alternating-current power supply into a direct-current voltage; and a current detector detecting an alternating current flowing between the alternating-current power supply and the bridge circuit. The reactor reduces an inductance in accordance with an increase of the alternating current and, when the alternating current exceeds a first current, has an inductance lower than one third of an inductance at which a current does not flow in the reactor. The bridge circuit performs an active operation when the detection value of the alternating current is larger than or equal to the first current and performs a passive operation when the detection value of the alternating current is lower than the first current.
