COMPONENT TEST
JUDGEMENT: The measured output power should be at least
±
15 % of the rated output power.
CAUTION: 1

C CORRESPONDS TO 120 WATTS REPEAT MEASUREMENT IF THE POWER IS
INSUFFICIENT.

POWER TRANSFORMER 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
circuits, including the magnetron filament.
1. CARRY OUT 3D CHECKS.
2. Disconnect the leads to the primary winding of the power 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 windings. The following readings should be obtained:
a. Primary winding ........................ approx. 1.2
Ω
b. Secondary winding ................... approx. 102
Ω
c. Filament winding ....................... less than 1
Ω
3. If the reading obtained are not stated as above, then the power transformer is probably faulty and should be
replaced.
4. Also, the power transformer has the thermal cut-out in the primary coil. Measure the resistance of the primary
coil. The resistance of the primary coil should be above resistance unless the temperature of the thermal cut-
out in the primary coil reaches approximately 160˚C. The thermal cut-out resets automatically at 140˚C. If
an ohmmeter indicates an open circuit under normal condition, replace the power transformer because the
primary coil (thermostat) has opened. An open primary coil (thermal cut-out ) indicates overheating of the
power transformer. Check for restricted air flow to the power transformer, especially the fan motor or
ventilation openings.
5. CARRY OUT 4R CHECKS.
C
HIGH VOLTAGE RECTIFIER ASSEMBLY TEST
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 k
Ω
in the other direction.
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.

C
HIGH VOLTAGE RECTIFIER
D
HIGH VOLTAGE CAPACITOR TEST
CARRY OUT 3D CHECKS.
A. Isolate the high voltage capacitor from the circuit.
B. Continuity check must be carried out with measuring instrument which is set to the highest resistance range.
