MEASUREMENT OF THE MICROW AVE OUTPUT POWER

Microwave output power can be checked by indirectly measuring the temperature rise of a certain amount of water exposed to the microwave as directed below.

Procedure

1. Microwave power output measurement is made with the microwave oven supplied at rated voltage and operated at its maximum microwave power setting with a load of 1,000¡ 5cc of potable water.

2. The water is contained in a cylindrical borosilicate glass vessel having a maximum material thickness of 3 mm and an outside diameter of approximately 190 mm.

3. The oven and the empty vessel are at ambient temperature prior to the start of the test. The initial temeprature of the water is 10¡ 2˚C (50¡ 3.6˚F). It is measured immediately before the water is added to the vessel. After addition of the water to the vessel, the load is immediately placed on the center of the shelf which is in the lowest notmal position.

4. Microwave power is switched on.

5. heating time should be exactly 70 seconds. Heating time is measured while the microwave generator is operating at full power. The filament heat-up time for magnetron is not included.

6. The initial and final water temepratures are selected so that the maximum difference between the ambient and final water temperatures is 5K.

7. The microwave power output p in watt is calculated from the following formula:

• ∆ T is actual temperature rise.

• T is the heating time.

The power measured should be 600W¡ 10.0%

Water Load

P = 4187 X § T/t

CAUTION :

1. Water load should be measured exactly to 1 liter.

2. Input power voltage should be exactly 230 volts as specified.

3. Ambient temperature should be 20 ¡ 2˚C(68¡ 3.6˚F)

MICROW AVE RADIATION TEST

WARNING

• Make sure to check the microwave leakage before and after repair or adjustment.

• Always, start measuring of an unknown field to assure safety for operating personnel from microwave energy.

• Do not place your hands into any suspected microwave radiation field unless the safe density level is known.

• Card should be taken not to place the eyes in direct line with the source of microwave energy.

• Slowly approach the unit under test until the radiometer reads an appreciable microwave leakage from the unit under the test.

Procedure

A) Prepare Microwave Energy Survey Meter, 600cc glass beaker, glass thermometer 100˚C or 212˚F.

B)Pour 275 ¡ 15cc of tap water initially at 20 ¡ 5˚C(68 ¡ 9˚F) in the 600cc neaker with an inside diameter of

approx. 9.5cm(3.5in).

C)Place it at the center of the tray and set it in a cavity.

D)Close the door and operate the oven.

E)Measure the leakage by using microwave energy survery meter with dual ranges, set to 2450 MHz.

- Measured radiation leakage must not exceed the values prescribed below.

• leakage for a fully assembled oven with door normally closed must be less than 4mW/cm2.

- When measuring the leakage, always use the 2 in(5cm) space cone with probe. Hold the probe perpendicular

to the cabinet, door. Place the space cone of the probe on the door, cabinet, door seam, door viewing screen, the exhaust air vents air vents and the suction air vents.

- Measuring should be in a counter-clockwise direction

at a rate of 1 inch/sec. If the leakage of the cabinet door seam is unknow, move the probe more slowly.

- When measuring near a corner of the door, keep the probe perpendicular to the areas making sure the probe

end at the base of the cone does not get closer than 2 inches from any metal. if it does, erronous reading may be resulted.
