A fixing apparatus has a first heating member and a second heating member
provided in a heating portion, and a current control unit which controls
an AC current to be supplied to the heating portion, The current control
unit executes a wave number control, on the AC current supplied to the
heating portion, in a unit of predetermined number of half-waves so that
an AC current to the first heating member is supplied in a
positive-negative symmetrical pattern in the unit of predetermined number
of half-waves; an AC current to the second heating member is supplied in
a positive-negative symmetrical pattern in the unit of predetermined
number of half waves; AC currents to the first and second heating members
are supplied in a positive-negative symmetrical pattern in total in the
unit of predetermined number of half-waves and the current control unit
increases the duty ratio alternately for the first heating member and the
second heating member.
