<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image forming apparatus simplifying a circuit configuration while suppressing an abnormal discharge energy. <P>SOLUTION: The image forming apparatus includes: a charger 41 having a discharge wire 42 and a grid 43 and charging a photoreceptor 44; a grid current detecting unit 80 detecting a grid current Ig; a control unit 51; an abnormal discharge detecting unit 70 detecting abnormal discharge generated in the charger 41; and a suppression resistance 67 for suppressing the abnormal discharge energy. The suppression resistance 67 includes a first terminal 67a and a second terminal 67b, the first terminal 67a is connected to the grid 43, and the second terminal 67b is connected to either one of the grid current detecting unit 80 and the abnormal discharge detecting unit 70. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
