[2] B: HIGH VOLTAGE TRANSFORMER (T) TEST
WARNING: High voltages and large currents are present at the secondary winding and filament winding of the power transformer. It is
very dangerous to work near this part when the oven is on. NEVER make any voltage measurements of the high-voltage cir-
cuits, including the magnetron filament.
1. CARRY OUT 3D CHECKS.
2. Disconnect the leads to the primary winding of the high voltage transformer. Disconnect the filament and secondary winding connections from the
rest of the HV circuitry. Using an ohmmeter, set on a low range, it is possible to check the continuity of all three winding. The following readings
should be obtained:
a.Primary winding -------------------- 2.52 ohms approximately
b.Secondary winding --------------- 216 ohms approximately
c.Filament winding ------------------------------ less than 1 ohm
If the readings obtained are not stated as above, then the high voltage transformer is probably faulty and should be replaced.
3. CARRY OUT 4R CHECKS.
[3] C: HIGH VOLTAGE RECTIFIER TEST
CARRY OUT 3D CHECKS.
Isolate the high voltage rectifier assembly from the HV circuit. The high voltage rectifier can be tested using an ohmmeter set to its highest range.
Connect the ohmmeter across the terminal B+C of the high voltage rectifier and note the reading obtained. Reverse the meter leads and note this
second reading. The normal resistance is infinite in one direction and more than 100 kΩ in the other direction.
CARRY OUT 4R CHECKS.
ASYMMETRIC RECTIFIER TEST
CARRY OUT 3D CHECKS.
Isolate the high voltage rectifier assembly from the HV circuit. The asymmetric rectifier can be
tested using an ohmmeter set to its highest range across the terminals A+B of the asymmetric
rectifier and note the reading obtained. Reverse the meter leads and note this second reading.
If an open circuit is indicated in both directions then the asymmetric rectifier is good. If the
asymmetric rectifier is shorted in either direction, then the asymmetric rectifier is faulty and must be replaced with high voltage rectifier. When the
asymmetric rectifier is defective, check whether magnetron, high voltage rectifier, high voltage wire or filament winding of the high voltage transformer
is shorted.
CARRY OUT 4R CHECKS.
NOTE: FOR MEASUREMENT OF THE RESISTANCE OF THE RECTIFIER, THE BATTERIES OF THE MEASURING INSTRUMENT MUST HAVE
A VOLTAGE AT LEAST 6 VOLTS, BECAUSE OTHERWISE AN INFINITE RESISTANCE MIGHT BE SHOWN IN BOTH DIRECTIONS.
[4] D: HIGH VOLTAGE CAPACITOR (C) TEST
CARRY OUT 3D CHECKS.
1. Isolate the high voltage capacitor from the circuit.
2. Continuity check must be carried out with measuring instrument which is set to the highest resistance range.
3. A normal capacitor shows continuity for a short time (kick) and then a resistance of about 10MΩ after it has been charged.
4. A short-circuited capacitor shows continuity all the time.
5. An open capacitor constantly shows a resistance about 10 MΩ because of its internal 10MΩ resistance.
6. When the internal wire is opened in the high voltage capacitor shows an infinite resistance.
7. The resistance across all the terminals and the chassis must be infinite when the capacitor is normal.
If incorrect reading are obtained, the high voltage capacitor must be replaced.
CARRY OUT 4R CHECKS.
