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.
CARRY OUT 3D CHECKS.
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. 66
Ω
c. Filament winding ................... less than 1
Ω
If the reading obtained are not stated as above, then the power transformer is probably faulty and
should be replaced.
CARRY OUT 4R CHECKS.
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.

CHECKS.
ASYMMETRIC RECTIFIER TEST
CARRY OUT 3D CHECKS.
Isolate the high voltage rectifier assembly from the HV circuit. The asymmetric 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 direction then the asymmetric rectifier is good. If an asymmetric rectifier is shorted
in either direction, then the asymmetric rectifier is probably faulty and must be replaced with high
voltage rectifier. When the asymmetric rectifier is defective, check whether magnetron, high voltage
