A power control device includes: an output voltage controller to control the output voltage of a power supply circuit based on a feedback voltage obtained by dividing the output voltage with voltage dividing resistors; and an overvoltage protection circuit to protect against an overvoltage in the output voltage. The overvoltage protection circuit includes: an output voltage detector to detect whether the output voltage has risen above an output voltage threshold value; and a feedback voltage detector to detect whether the feedback voltage has fallen to or below a feedback voltage threshold value. The overvoltage protection circuit continues or stops operation of the output voltage controller based on a first detection output from the output voltage detector and a second detection output from the feedback voltage detector.
