Abstract

A constant power regulator for a xerographic fuser in which power control is achieved by taking the sum of the load voltage and current. The regulator includes an operational amplifier connected as a voltage adding circuit. The operational circuit amplifier of the power regulator adds the voltage drop across the fuser and a reference resistor connected in series with the fuser and the voltage drop across the fixed reference resistance which represents the current flow through the fuser. The output of this summing circuit is detected by a photodetector that electrically isolates the power regulator from a voltage regulator which has an output for controlling the power supply to the fuser through, for example, a triac, controlled as a function of the power supply signal and the detected voltage generated by the power regulating circuit.
