5 Test Mode
5.1.
Component test procedure
5.1.1.
High voltage transformer
1. Remove connections from the transformer terminals and
check continuity.
2. Normal (cold) resistance readings should be as follows:
Secondary winding Approx. 80Ω-120Ω
Filament winding Approx. 0Ω
Primary winding Approx. 0Ω-3Ω
5.1.2.
High voltage capacitor
1. Check continuity of capacitor with meter on highest OHM
scale.
2. A normal capacitor will show continuity for a short time,
and then indicate 9MΩ once the capacitor is charged.
3. A shorted capacitor will show continuous continuity.
4. An open capacitor will show constant 9MΩ.
5. Resistance between each terminal and chassis should be
infinite.
5.1.3.
Magnetron
Continuity checks can only indicate an open filament or a
shorted magnetron. To diagnose for an open filament or
shorted magnetron.
1. Isolate magnetron from the circuit by disconnecting the
leads.
2. A continuity check across magnetron filament terminals
should indicate one ohm or less.
3. A continuity check between each filament terminal and
magnetron case should read open.
