Power Supplier and Image Forming Apparatus including the Power Supplier

摘要

A power supplier 200 includes a power supply 216 to provide a supplied power to the power supplier, a first capacitor 217 charged by a predetermined voltage corresponding to supplied power supply, a power state detector 220 to detect an on-state or an off-state of the power supply, a first controller 229 to generate a first discharge control signal that has a signal level varying according to the state of the power supply and controls discharging of the predetermined voltage charged in the first capacitor 217, and a discharger 230 connected to the first capacitor 217 in parallel and to discharge the predetermined voltage charged in the first capacitor 217 in response to the first discharge control signal, thereby reducing discharge risks to a user.
