A drive power control device according to the present invention includes a transistor, which is input with a driving signal before current amplification into a base thereof, and which amplifies a current of the driving signal to drive an actuator; a switching element, which switches an input of a supply voltage to a collector of the transistor between on and off; and a voltage comparator, which compares a base voltage and a collector voltage of the transistor, and which controls the switching element such that the input of the supply voltage to the collector is turned off when a predetermined voltage difference occurs, and the input of the supply voltage to the collector is turned on when a predetermined voltage difference does not occur.
