[2] B: POWER TRANSFORMER TEST
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:
If the reading obtained are not stated as above, then the power transformer is probably faulty and should be replaced.
CARRY OUT 4R
CHECKS.
[3] C: 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 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 kΩ 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 DIRECTION.
[4] D: HIGH VOLTAGE CAPACITOR TEST
CARRY OUT 3D CHECKS.
1. Isolate the high voltage capacitor from the circuit.
2. Continuity check must be carried out with measuring instrument which is set to the highest resistance range.
3. A normal capacitor shows continuity for a short time (kick) and then a resistance of about 10MΩ after it has been charged.
4. A short-circuited capacitor shows continuity all the time.
5. An open capacitor constantly shows a resistance about 10 MΩ because of its internal 10MΩ resistance.
6. When the internal wire is opened in the high voltage capacitor shows an infinite resistance.
7. 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.
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 cir-
cuits, including the magnetron filament.
