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:-
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.
R-22AT
R-23AM, R-24AT
a. Primary winding
approximately 1.8
Ω
approximately 1.2
Ω
b. Secondary winding
approximately 75
Ω
approximately 75
Ω
c. Filament winding
less than 1
Ω
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, BE-
CAUSE OTHERWISE AN INFINITE RESISTANCE MIGHT BE SHOWN IN BOTH DIREC-
TIONS.

HIGH VOLTAGE RECTIFIER ASSEMBLY TEST

HIGH VOLTAGE CAPACITOR TEST
B
C
HIGH VOLTAGE RECTIFIER
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.
C. A normal capacitor shows continuity for a short time (kick) and then a resistance of about 10M
Ω
after it has been charged.
D. A short-circuited capacitor shows continuity all the time.
E. An open capacitor constantly shows a resistance about 10 M
Ω
because of its internal 10M
Ω
resistance.
F. When the internal wire is opened in the high voltage capacitor shows an infinite resistance.
G. The resistance across all the terminals and the chassis must be infinite when the capacitor is
normal.
If incorrect reading are obtained, the high voltage capacitor must be replaced.
CARRY OUT 4R CHECKS.
E
SWITCH TEST
CARRY OUT 3D CHECKS.
Isolate the switch to be tested and using an ohmmeter check between the terminals as described in
the following table.
