<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enable uniform coating without reducing work efficiency while preventing paint from adhering to a worker or a spray gun when the spray gun is separated from an object to be coated. <P>SOLUTION: This electrostatic coating apparatus 1 includes a spray gun 2, a cascade 3 provided in the spray gun to generate a high DC voltage, an electric current detection circuit 14 that detects a current flowing through the cascade 3, and an output mode changing device 21. The output mode changing device 21 changes the output voltage of the cascade 3 to an intermittent output mode when the detected electric current becomes a reference value of Ik or below while the cascade 3 outputs DC voltage Vdc which is high voltage in a continuous output mode, and changes the output voltage of the cascade 3 to the continuous output mode when the detected electric current becomes Ik or above while the cascade 3 is in the intermittent output mode. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
