NN-CT878SBPQ 2 Inverter Warning The inverter board looks like a regular PCB, however, this PCB drives the magnetron tube using very high voltages and cur- rent. It has 1. Very high voltage and high current 2. An Aluminium heat sink that becomes very hot 3.
NN-CT878SBPQ 8 Description of Operating instruction 8.1. Variable power cooking control 8.3. Auto weight defrost, Auto weight Cook The HIGH VOLTAGE INVERTER POWER SUPPLY controls the output power by a signal from the digital Programmer circuit When an auto control feature is selected and the start pad DPC.
NN-CT878SBPQ 8.4. Convection Cooking 1. The digital programmer circuit operates the power relays temperature, the digital programmer circuit supplies RY3,RY5 and RY6 in the sequence as shown in the figure power to power relay RY5 resulting in the convection below.
NN-CT878SBPQ 8.5. Combination Cooking Convection And Microwave Combination Duty Cycles Convection Heater Micropower Combination cooking is achieved by operating the microwave 100 - 250 C DISPLAY OUTPUT and heater modes together during one cooking cycle. There 360W are three combination modes.
