Abstract
There is described an image forming apparatus, in which a plurality of AC power cords are combined with each other, so as to stably supply the electric power to the loading sections from the combined points, regardless of the fluctuation of the electric power consumption in the loading sections coupled to the combined points. The image forming apparatus includes: a plurality of AC power cords that are respectively coupled to a plurality of AC power supplying sources, which are substantially equivalent to relative to each other in phase and amplitude of AC voltages of the plurality of AC power supplying sources; and a combining section to combine AC electric power units supplied through the plurality of AC power cords into a combined electric power, so as to supply the combined electric power to a load.
