Power Output Measurement - Goldstar MVH1670ST Service Manual

MEASUREMENT WITH THE OUTER CASE
REMOVED
(1) When you replace the magnetron, measure for
microwave energy leakage before the outer case is
installed and after all necessary components are
replaced or adjusted. Special care should be taken
in measuring the following parts.
- Around the magnetron
- The waveguide
WARNING: AVOID CONTACTING ANY HIGH
VOLTAGE PARTS.
MEASUREMENT WITH A FULLY
ASSEMBLED OVEN
(1) After all components, including the outer panels,
are fully assembled, measure for microwave
energy leakage around the door viewing window,
the exhaust opening and air inlet openings.
(2) Microwave energy leakage must not exceed the
values prescribed below.
NOTES:
Leakage with the outer panels removed - less than
5 mW/cm 2 .
Leakage for a fully assembled oven ("Before the
latch switch (primary) is interrupted") with the door
in a slightly opened position - less than 2 mW/cm

POWER OUTPUT MEASUREMENT

(1) Microwave power output measurement is made
with the microwave oven supplied at its rated voltage
and operated at its maximum microwave power
setting with a load of (1000±5) g of potable water.
(2) The water is contained in a cylindrical borosilicate
glass vessel having a maximum material thickness
of 1/8" (3 mm) and an outside diameter of
approximately 7.6" (190mm).
(3) The oven and the empty vessel are at ambient
temperature prior to the start of the test.
(4) The initial temperature (T1) of the water is
(10±2)°C (50°F) It is measured immediately before
the water is added to the vessel. After addition of
the water to the vessel, the load is immediately
placed on the center of the turntable which is in the
lowest position and the microwave power switched on.
(5) The time T for the temperature of the water to rise
by a value ∆T of (10±2)°K is measured, where T is
the time in seconds and ∆T is the temperature rise.
The initial and final water temperatures are
selected so that the maximum difference between
the final water temperature and the ambient
temperature is 5°K.
(6) The microwave power output P in watts is
calculated from the following formula :

NOTE WHEN MEASURING
(1) Do not exceed meter full scale deflection.
(2) The test probe must be removed no faster than 1
inch/sec (2.5cm/sec) along the shaded area,
otherwise a false reading may result.
(3) The test probe must be held with the grip portion of
the handle. A false reading may result if the
operator's hand is between the handle and the
probe.
(4) When testing near a corner of the door, keep the
probe perpendicular to the surface making sure the
probe horizontally along the oven surface, this may
possibly cause probe damage.
RECORD KEEPING AND NOTIFICATION
AFTER MEASUREMENT
(1) After adjustment and repair of any microwave
energy interruption or microwave energy blocking
device, record the measured values for future
reference. Also enter the information on the service
invoice.
(2) Should the microwave energy leakage not be more
than 2 mW/cm
in good condition, functioning properly and genuine
replacement parts which are listed in this manual
have been used.
2 .
(3) At least once a year, have the electromagnetic
energy leakage monitor checked for calibration by
its manufacturer.

P =
is measured while the microwave generator is
operating at full power. Magnetron filament heat-
up time is not included. (about 3 sec)
(7) The water is stirred to equalize temperature
throughout the vessel, prior to measuring the final
water temperature.
(8) Stirring devices and measuring instruments are
selected in order to minimize addition or removal of
heat.
Where
P is the microwave power output, in watts:
Mw is the mass of the water, in grams:
Mc is the mass of the container, in grams:
T0 is the ambient temperature, in °C:
T1 is the initial temperature of the water, in °C:
T2 is the final temperature of the water, in °C:
t is the heating time in seconds, excluding the magnetron filament heat-up time.
