This discharge power supply apparatus is for supplying a D.C. voltage to a discharge load 6 and discharging the same. The discharge power supply apparatus includes an inverter circuit 2 that converts D.C. voltage to A.C. voltage; a transformer 3 having a primary winding 3 a to which the A.C. voltage output by the inverter circuit 2 is supplied and a secondary winding 3 b; a full-wave rectifier circuit 4 that has a plurality of diodes 4 A to 4 D and rectifies the A.C. voltage generated by the secondary winding 3 b; and a trigger capacitor 7 connected in parallel to a part of the diodes of the full-wave rectifier circuit 4.
