An AC adaptor has a switching regulator for converting alternate current
to direct current. Filters are provided to filter conducted noise, and a
filter switcher switches to the filter to be used in the AC adaptor. A
detector detects power consumption state of an electrical apparatus. A
state-filter relations storage stores correlations between the power
consumption states of the apparatus and the filters to determine the
filter that meets requirements so that the conducted noise to be filtered
in the AC adaptor is suppressed to a standard limit value or less and so
that power consumption is made lowest among the filters. A filter
switching controller controls the filter switcher to switch to the filter
to be used in the AC adaptor in correlation to the detected power
consumption state of the electrical apparatus.
