Inverter power supply circuit
working
The Inverter Power Supply circuit powered from the line voltage, 120V 60Hz AC input supplies 4,000V DC to the magnetron tube, and functions in place of the H.V. transformer, the H.V. capacitor and H.V. diode.
1. The AC input voltage 120V 60Hz is rectified to DC voltage immediately.
2. DC voltage will be supplied to the switching devices called IGBT. These devices are switched ON-OFF by the 20 to 40 kHz PWM (pulse width modulation) signal from the microcomputer in the DPC.
3. This drives the High voltage transformer to increase voltage up to 2,000V AC.
4. Then the half-wave doubler voltage rectifier circuit, consisting of the H.V. diodes and capacitors, generates the necessary 4,000V DC needed for the magnetron.
5. Output power of the magnetron tube is always monitored by the signal output from the current transformer built into the inverter circuit.
6. This signal is fed back to the microcomputer in the DPC to determine operating conditions and output necessary to control PWM signal to the Inverter Power Supply for control of the output power.

Measurement of microwave output
The output power of the magnetron can be determined by performing IEC standard test procedures. However, due to the complexity of IEC test procedures, it is recommended to test the magnetron using the simple method outlined below.

Necessary Equipment:
*1 liter beaker *Glass thermometer
*Wrist watch or stopwatch
NOTE:
Check the line voltage under load. Low voltage will lower the magnetron output. Take the temperature readings and heating time as accurately as possible.
1. Fill the beaker with exactly one liter of tap water. Stir the water using the thermometer and record the water’s temperature. (recorded as T1).
2. Place the beaker on the center of glass tray. Set the oven for High power and heat it for exactly one minute.
3. Stir the water again and read the temperature of the water. (recorded as T2).
4. The normal temperature rise at High power level for each model is as shown in table.

MEASURING MICROWAVE ENERGY LEAKAGE
Equipment
# Electromagnatic radiation monitor
# Glass thermometer 212°F or 100°C
# 600cc glass beaker
# Electromagnatic radiation monitor
# Glass thermometer 212°F or 100°C
# 600cc glass beaker
Procedure for measuring radiation leakage
Note before measuring:
# Do not exceed meter full scale deflection. Leakage monitor should initially be set to the highest scale.
# To prevent false readings, the test probe should be held by the grip portion of the handle only and moved along the shaded area in Figure no faster than 1 inch/sec (2.5cm/sec).
# Leakage with the outer panel removed: less than 5mW/cm2.
# Leakage for a fully assembled oven with door normally closed: less than 2mW/cm 2.
# Leakage for a fully assembled oven [Before the latch switch (primary) is interrupted] while pulling the door: less than 2mW/cm 2.
1. Pour 275 ± 15cc (9ozss± 1/2oz) of 20°C ± 5°C (68° ± 9°F) water in a beaker which is graduated to 600cc, and place in the center of the oven.
2. Set the radiation monitor to 2450MHz and use it following the manufacturer´s recommended test procedure to assure correct results.
3. When measuring the leakage, always use the 2 inch (5cm) spacer supplied with the probe.
4. Tap the start button or set the timer and with the magnetron oscillating, measure the leakage by holding the probe perpendicular to the surface being measured.
