Abstract:
An image forming apparatus includes a driving unit that supplies electric power to a heating element of a heater; a plurality of temperature detection portion disposed on a first potential side to detect temperatures of the heater; a control unit that is disposed on a second potential side isolated from the first potential side to control the driving unit on the basis of the temperatures detected by the temperature detection portion; a plurality of abnormality detection circuit portions disposed on the first potential side to output signals corresponding to detection results obtained by the plurality of temperature detection portion; and an abnormality transmission circuit portion that transmits an abnormality in the heater to the control unit on the basis of at least one of the signals output by the plurality of abnormality detection circuit portions.

Claim (Index 1):
An image forming apparatus comprising:\n a heater including a heating element that generates heat by energization; a driving unit that supplies electric power to the heating element; a plurality of temperature detection portion each detecting a temperature of the heater, the plurality of temperature detection portion being disposed on a first potential side; a control unit that controls the driving unit on the basis of the temperatures detected by the temperature detection portion, the control unit being disposed on a second potential side isolated from the first potential side; a plurality of abnormality detection circuit portions that output signals corresponding to the temperatures detected by the plurality of temperature detection portion, the plurality of abnormality detection circuit portions being disposed on the first potential side; and an abnormality transmission circuit portion that transmits an abnormality in the heater to the control unit on the basis of the signals output by the abnormality detection circuit portions, wherein the abnormality transmission circuit portion transmits an abnormality in the heater to the control unit on the basis of at least one of the signals output by the plurality of abnormality detection circuit portions.
