PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a power supply unit equipped with a shunt circuit, wherein the occurrence of a malfunction may be prevented by detecting an abnormality in the shunt circuit. SOLUTION: The power supply unit comprises a rectifier circuit 11, a switching power circuit 12, a shunt circuit 13, and an abnormality detecting circuit 16, and it supplies power to a load circuit 14 as well as to a microcomputer 15. The microcomputer 15 switches between a standby state and a drive state of the load 14 (TV ON if the load is a television set). If an abnormality occurs in a relay RL1, which shorts an input resistor R1, and opens it, the abnormality is detected in the abnormality detecting circuit 16 and notified to the microcomputer 15. The microcomputer 15, having received the notification, provides control and switches the load to a standby state. COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO
