The invention is to reduce a power loss occurring in a free-wheeling circuit element connected in parallel to the inductive load, and thereby suppresses a temperature rise in the free-wheeling circuit element. In a feed control apparatus that controls a feed state for an inductive load (103) by controlling the opening and closing of a load opening and closing element (130A) connected in series to the inductive load, a free-wheeling circuit element (140) employing a field effect transistor is connected in parallel to the inductive load (103) so that a capacitor is charged by opening the free-wheeling circuit element (140) when the load opening and closing element (130A) is closed and the free-wheeling circuit element (140) is closed by charges charged to the capacitor when the load opening and closing element (130A) is opened. A connection is made in polarity in which a closed-circuit conduction direction in the free-wheeling circuit element is the same as a conduction direction in an internal parasitic diode of the free-wheeling circuit element, and the free-wheeling circuit element (140) conducts backward by a small-capacity capacitor (142). Consequently, a voltage drop and a temperature rise are reduced.
