A power control apparatus and an image forming apparatus is provided to prevent a heating element from overheating when DC power is supplied and to perform normal operation regardless of the type of input power. The power control apparatus includes a power supply to supply power to a load, an alternating current (AC) power switch to discontinuously switch on AC power between the power supply and the load, and a direct current (DC) cutoff circuit to block supply of DC power through the AC power switch to prevent supply of the DC power to the load via the AC power switch when the DC power is input through the power supply. |
