ABSTRACT:
An induction heated fusing apparatus having a dual function transformer assembly includes a pressure roller, an induction heatable fuser roller, an electrical circuit subassembly coupled to a primary transformer coil and connectable to an AC power supply source. The electrical circuit assembly includes a bridge circuit and a pair of transistors having their emitters connected to an output of a bridge circuit, their bases connected to opposite ends of an auxiliary conductive coil winding, and their collectors connected to opposite ends of a primary transformer coil, wherein the pair of transistors and the primary transformer coil are alternately driven by voltage changes across the auxiliary conductive coil winding.
