The present invention provides a switching power supply unit capable of suppressing a surge voltage generated in a rectifier element more effectively. A first resonance circuit is constructed by capacitors in a surge voltage suppressing circuit and an inductor, and resonance time of the first resonance circuit is set to be longer than recovery time of a diode in a rectifier circuit. According to at least one of a DC input voltage and an output current, either a first bridge circuit or a second bridge circuit is selectively allowed to perform switching operation. At the time of forward-direction operation, the first resonance circuit is formed by the capacitors in the surge voltage circuit and the inductor on the high voltage side. At the time of reverse-direction operation, a second resonance circuit is formed by the capacitors and an inductor on the low voltage side.
