When two electrolytic capacitors are connected in series according to the above-mentioned prior art, when one of the electrolytic capacitors, which is a life-span component, approaches the end of its life, the leakage current increases and is applied to the electrolytic capacitor. The voltage may become unbalanced and the voltage applied to the other may rise. The same thing as above also occurs when one of them fails. For this reason, when one of them has reached the end of its service life or has failed, the other electrolytic capacitor opens, and there is a risk of liquid leakage, which cannot be said to be sufficient in terms of reliability. That is, the prior art does not consider the life of the electrolytic capacitor or the collapse of the voltage balance at the time of failure, and has a problem of valve opening of the electrolytic capacitor and liquid leakage. The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and an object of the present invention is to provide a power supply circuit capable of preventing the valve opening and liquid leakage of an electrolytic capacitor from occurring and improving the reliability.

EXAMPLES Next, the present invention will be specifically described by way of examples. [Embodiment 1] FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of the present invention. Since the same parts as those of the prior art are designated by the same reference numerals, the description thereof will be omitted. In the present embodiment, a detection circuit 8 for measuring the midpoint voltage of the electrolytic capacitors 4, 5 connected in series to the power supply circuit, and a control circuit for controlling the operation of the booster circuit 3 by the signal detected by the detection circuit 8. 9 and 9 are provided. By doing so, it becomes possible to detect the balance of the voltages applied to the two electrolytic capacitors 4 and 5 when one of them has a service life or has a failure, and to control the operation of the booster circuit 3. It is possible to obtain a power supply circuit capable of preventing the valve opening and liquid leakage of No. 5 from occurring and improving the reliability. That is, as shown in FIG. 2, when the voltage boosted and smoothed by the booster circuit 3 is V 0 , the midpoint A of the two normal electrolytic capacitors 4 and 5 is 1/2 V 0 . However, when either one of the electrolytic capacitors reaches the end of its service life or fails, this 1 / 2V 0 changes. If the electrolytic capacitor 4 reaches the end of its life or fails, the voltage at the midpoint A increases by ΔV, the voltage reaches V 1 , and the voltage applied to the electrolytic capacitor 5 is 1 /
It becomes 2V 0 + ΔV. Conversely, when the electrolytic capacitor 5 reaches the end of its life or fails, the voltage at the midpoint A decreases and decreases by ΔV, the voltage reaches V 2 , and the voltage applied to the electrolytic capacitor 4 becomes 1 / 2V 0 + ΔV. Therefore, this 1 / 2V
If 0 + ΔV exceeds the rated voltage of the electrolytic capacitors 4 and 5, there is a risk of valve opening and liquid leakage.
Set 0 + ΔV to the rated voltage range and set the voltage at the midpoint A to V
When it is detected that the voltage becomes 1 or V 2 , it can be seen that the electrolytic capacitors 4 and 5 have the rated voltage or higher. And
By operating the control circuit 9 by this detected signal and stopping the booster circuit 3 or lowering the voltage,
The electrolytic capacitors 4 and 5 do not exceed the rated voltage, there is no risk of causing valve opening, liquid leakage, etc., and reliability can be improved. Further, FIG. 3 shows a specific embodiment, which is composed of a full-wave rectifier using diodes 10 to 13 for the rectifier circuit 2, a boost chopper circuit for the booster circuit 3, and an inverter circuit for lighting a fluorescent lamp for the load 7. It is a thing. In the figure, 14 of the booster circuit (boost chopper circuit) 3 is a choke, 15 is a diode, 16 is a transistor, 1
7 is an amplifier circuit, 18 of the load 7 is a capacitor, 19
Is a lamp (discharge lamp), 20 is a capacitor, 21 is a choke, 22 and 23 are diodes, 24 and 25 are transistors, and 26 is a control circuit.
