Abstract
An image heating apparatus for heating an image formed on a recording material, including a rotation member; an excitation coil for generating a magnetic field to induce an eddy current in the rotation member; a temperature detecting element for detecting a temperature of the rotation member; and a controller for controlling an electrical supply to the excitation coil so that the temperature detected by the temperature detecting element is maintained at a set temperature, wherein while the set temperature is set a stand-by temperature, the controller controls the electrical supply to the excitation coil and the rotation member is maintained in a stoppage of rotation.
