TaskAlfa 5002i IH Unit?

[cberbecaru]

Hello,

Does anybody know what is the IH Unit for TaskAlfa 5002i? What role does it have? What IH stands for?
It is located directly behind the fuser and the hot roller seems to have contact with it (or, at least, is very close)

Thanks

IH stands for induction heater. It is made up of coils similar to a transformer and when an AC voltage is applied to it, it generates eddy currents in the adjacent fuser belt causing it to get hot. It’s much more efficient than a standard heater lamp and temperature can be controlled much better. High end kitchen hotplates use the same technology
Hope this helps

Thank you for the clarification. It means that the fuser belt does not have other inside heater, like a halogen lamp or some heating resistor, if I understand correcly
