Heating principle of IH Heater
The magnetic field is generated by applying a high frequency current to the IH coil inside the fuser
roller, which then generates the eddy current in it. When the eddy current flows, the Joule heat is gener-
ated by the resistance element of the fuser roller, which is then heated. In the IH coil method, the ther-
mal efficiency is higher than the lamp method because the fuser roller is directly heated.
IH coil is divided into two parts to decrease the temperature difference between the center and both
ends of the fuser roller.
