Abstract: The present disclosure provides a power saving device with power supply, comprising a charger power circuit, a receptacle, a plug detection unit, an ON/OFF control circuit and a power output enable circuit. The plug detection unit uses a mechanical or electrical detection apparatus to detect whether a plug-in device is inserted or not. When there is no plug-in device in the receptacle, the power output enable circuit will cut off the power to the charger power circuit. So the power consumption of the power saving device is reduced while no plug-in device is inserted into the receptacle.
