Abstract: This power transfer device is provided with an alternating current power supply, primary-side coil, control unit, control power supply, and switch. The alternating current power supply has a first converter that converts external power into first direct current power and a second converter that outputs power by converting direct current power into alternating current power at a predetermined frequency. The second converter outputs, as alternating current power, first alternating current power in the cases where the first direct current power is inputted from the first converter, and outputs, as alternating current power, a second alternating current power having a power value smaller than that of the first alternating current power in the cases where second direct current power is inputted from the control power supply.

Abstract: A power supply device includes an AC/DC converter and a DC/AC converter. The AC/DC converter is capable of converting grid-connected power into DC power having a second DC power value. The DC/AC converter converts DC power into AC power and outputs the converted AC power to a primary coil of a power supply-unit. Furthermore, the power supply device includes a DC/DC converter and a switching relay. The DC/DC converter is capable of converting DC power output from the AC/DC converter into DC power having a first DC power value that is smaller than the second DC power value. The switching relay switches the source of power for the DC/AC converter to the AC/DC converter or the DC/DC converter.
