    Abstract: A power supply device includes a power output terminal, a power converter and an electronic circuit breaker. In view of operation of the electronic circuit breaker, when an electric appliance that acts as a load is connected between the power output terminal and a ground terminal, the electronic circuit breaker is activated to output voltage from the power converter to the power output terminal so as to charge the electric appliance. When the electric appliance is done with charging and is removed, the electronic circuit breaker is deactivated to prevent voltage of the power converter from being outputted to the power output terminal. Thus, even if the power output terminal is exposed, the power output terminal won't output power to result in electric shock because of users' inadvertent contact when no electric appliance is being charged, thereby enhancing operational safety.
