Abstract: A main circuit includes a switching element, and converts electric power input to the main circuit and supplies a result of the conversion to a load. The controller switches a control scheme of the main circuit from a first control scheme to a second control scheme at a first time point when the output value starts to vary and switches the control scheme of the main circuit from the second control scheme to the first control scheme at a second time point when a determination is made that switching of a variation direction of the output value will occur on the basis of a detection value of the detector.
