HIGH POWER SUPPLY TO CONTROL AN ABNORMAL LOAD
First Claim
1. An image forming apparatus, comprising:
- a main body;
a load detachably installed in the main body; and
a high power supply to supply a high voltage to the load installed in the main body, to detect a normal load and an abnormal load from the load supplied with the high voltage, and to control the high voltage to be supplied to the load according to the detected normal or abnormal load.

Abstract
A high power supply to control an abnormal load includes a high voltage power processor to amplify a supplied DC power and to output the amplified DC power, a trans/rectifier to transform the DC power to a high voltage power and to rectify the high voltage power, a load detector to compare a load voltage output from a load with a predetermined reference voltage and to output a comparison voltage to detect the abnormal load of the load, and a high voltage controller to supply a chip enable signal to the high voltage power processor to interrupt the high voltage power processor when the comparison voltage output from the load detector is smaller than a predetermined reference value that is set to correspond to a minimum load of the load. Therefore, a user and peripheral components an image forming apparatus are protected from electric shock and being damaged by interrupting an output of the high voltage according to the abnormal load.
