Abstract: A wireless power supply system includes a plurality of power transmission units that receives and supplies power to a power receiving unit via the power transmission coil in a resonance state, and a switching control unit that switches a state of a first power transmission unit to a resonance state when the magnitude of the magnetic flux generated in a first power transmission coil of the first power transmission unit, which is one of the plurality of power transmission units, is greater than a predetermined threshold value, and switches to a non-resonance state when the magnitude is less than the threshold value.
