COMPONENTS High-voltage diode Set to insulation resistance. Blocking direction = infinite. The high-voltage diode can be tested like a standard diode. Use an EHG tester for this. • Full continuity in conducting direction. • Infinite in blocking direction. Set to insulation resistance. Conducting direction = full continuity.
High-voltage capacitor The high-voltage capacitor can be tested by ‘ohmic’ measurement’ (resistance measurement range 20 ΜΩ). A correctly functioning capacitor indicates transient continuity. The resistance then increases proportionally with the load. A defective capacitor (e.g. short-circuit) indicates permanent continuity. The measuring instrument must indicate infinitely between the connection and housing.
High-voltage transformer This transformer supplies the heater voltage for the magnetron and the operating voltage for doubling the voltage. • Input voltage 230 V Heater voltage • Heater voltage approx. 3.3 V approx. 3.3V • Operating voltage approx. 2300 V The operating voltage cannot be measured!! Primary side 230V of input voltage...
Magnetron The magnetron can be tested by ‘ohmic’ measurement´ only. The volume resistance of the terminals F and FA should be less than 1 Ω. The insulation resistance between the two terminals and the housing should be infinite. Measure the resistance with an EHG tester. Note: An internal flashover (short-circuit between cathode and anode) cannot usually be established by taking a measurement.
Safety switches Microwave ovens usually feature at least three safety switches. 2.5.1 Switching sequence These switches are supported by the switch brackets. Each door switch independently switches off the power supply for the The basic function of these switches is to interrupt microwave microwave oven when the door is opened.
