ABSTRACT:
An electrical power supply for an electronic flash unit with a main capacitor charged by a current flowing from a direct-current source through an electrical power source switch to the main capacitor is disclosed. The electrical power source has a semi-conductor switch connected in the charge path to the main capacitor and a detector, arranged to detect whether or not an aerial discharge is produced between the contacts of said switch upon opening of the electrical power source switch, and, upon occurrence of a discharge, to produce a signal. The semi-conductor switch is opened in response to the signal to stop charging of the main capacitor immediately.
