A power supply circuit for a high voltage driven device, particularly a magnetron, is described. The power supply circuit comprises first and second switching elements, an inverter circuit including a commutating reactor connected in series with the first and second switching elements and a capacitor connected to a center tap of the commutating reactor, a transformer connected to an output of the inverter circuit, and a third switching element connected in parallel with a series circuit comprising the capacitor, the primary winding of the transformer and a portion of the commutating reactor. When the magnitude of a current flowing in the transformer exceeds a predetermined level, the third switching element is fired to establish a discharge loop for the capacitor through the series circuit whereby the amplitude of the current supplied to the transformer is limited below the predetermined level.
