PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a complex machine capable of achieving a low capacity of a power supply part supplying power to a plurality of load circuits. SOLUTION: This complex machine is composed of: a current parameter storage means keeping, as current value parameters, the maximum value of a consumption current in a normal condition in each load circuit part, and an upper-limit value of current that can be supplied by the power supply part; a consumption current estimation means estimating a total consumption current after changing over operation states of the load circuits to normal states based on the current value parameters; and a current value determination means determining whether or not the consumption current may exceed the upper-limit value based on the estimation result by the consumption current estimation means. An operation state changeover part changes over the operation state of a part of the load circuit parts having the operation state set in the normal state to a standby state based on the determination result by the current value determination means when changing over the operation states of the load circuits to the normal states.
