The present invention relates to a supply voltage detection device (1), in particular for at least one load, for monitoring a rectified mains voltage of a mains voltage supply (2) and for comparing a detected mains voltage value with a predetermined reference value, wherein, if the detected mains voltage value is lower than the reference value, switching to e.g. an emergency voltage of an emergency voltage supply can be effected by means of an electronic control system (3).

Provided is an electronic apparatus that can prevent erroneous detection of a sensor output due to an AC line noise. A power supply circuit includes a noise filter, input rectifying smoothing circuit, converter circuit, and output smoothing circuit. The input rectifying smoothing circuit rectifies an input AC voltage passed through the noise filter to a pulsating flow and then smooth it. The converter circuit converts a DC voltage rectified and smoothed into a desired output voltage. The output smoothing circuit smoothes the convert output voltage to supply it to a control part. The noise determination part detects a noise that could not have been removed by the noise filter, as an AC line noise. The control part invalidates a detection signal outputted from the sensor for a previously set invalid period from the moment the AC line noise has been detected.
