CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION GENERAL DETAILS • A high voltage of approximately 2100 volts AC is generated in the secondary of the high voltage • The low voltage transformer supplies the necessary transformer which is increased by the action of the high voltage to the micom controller when power cord is voltage diode and charging of the high voltage plugged in.
SERVICE INFORMATION TOOLS AND MEASURING INSTRUMENTS NECESSARY TOOLS NECESSARY MEASURING INSTRUMENTS Tools normally used for TV servicing are sufficient. • TESTER (VOLTS-DC, AC, Ohmmeter) Standard tools are listed below. • Microwave survey meter • Diagonal pliers - Holaday HI-1500 • Long nose pliers HI-1501 •...

MEASUREMENT WITH OUTER CASE NOTES WHEN MEASURING REMOVED • Do not exceed meter full scale deflection. • The test probe must be moved no faster than • When you replace the magnetron, measure for 1 inch/sec (2.5 cm/sec) along the shaded area, microwave energy leakage before the outer case is otherwise a false reading may result.
MEASUREMENT OF MICROWAVE POWER OUTPUT • Microwave power output measurement is made with • The microwave power output P in watts is calculated the microwave oven supplied at its rated voltage and from the following formula : operated at its maximum microwave power setting with 4187 x (∆T) + 0.55 X (T ) X M a load of (1000±5) g of potable water.
