JUDGMENT: The measured output power should be within the range of
±

TEST PROCEDURES
PROCEDURE
LETTER
COMPONENT TEST
Heat up for 23 sec.
B
HIGH VOLTAGE TRANSFORMER TEST
WARNING:
High voltage and large currents are present at the secondary winding and
filament winding of the high voltage 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 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 windings. The following readings should be
obtained:-
a. Primary winding
approximately 1.2
Ω
b. Secondary winding
approximately 75
Ω
c. Filament winding
less than 1
Ω
If the readings obtained are not stated as above, then the high voltage transformer is probably faulty
and should be replaced.
CARRY OUT 4R CHECKS.
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.
