Abstract

In a switching-type DC power source apparatus which uses a booster-chopper type active filter circuit as its rectifier circuit, even at zero-crossing timing of an AC voltage to be input in the rectifier circuit, a current supply source for making a current as if it is flowing is added to a current detection circuit for detecting the current flowing in the active filter circuit, thereby preventing a prickle-like input current including a number of harmonic components from flowing in the apparatus.
