CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
GENERAL DETAILS
• The low voltage transformer supplies the necessary 
voltage to the micom controller when power cord is 
plugged in.
• When the door is closed, the primary switch is ON, the
secondary switch is ON, and the monitor switch opens 
(contact COM and NO).
WHEN SELECTING COOKING POWER 
LEVEL AND TIME
• The micom controller memorizes the function you set.
• The time you set appears in the display window.
• Each indicator light turns on to indicate that the stage
has been set.
WHEN TOUCHING THE START PAD
• The coil of the relay is energized by the micom
controller.
• Power input is supplied to the high voltage transformer
through the fuse to the primary switch and relay 2.
• Turntable rotates.
• The fan motor rotates and cools the magnetron by
blowing the air (coming from the intake on the 
baseplate).
• The air is also directed into the oven to exhaust the
vapor in the oven through the upper plate.
• Cooking time starts counting down.
• 3.2 volts AC is generated from the filament winding of
the high voltage transformer. This 3.2 volts is applied to 
the magnetron to heat the magnetron filament through 
two noise-preventing choke coils.
• A high voltage of approximately 2100 volts AC is 
generated in the secondary of the high voltage 
transformer which is increased by the action of the high 
voltage diode and charging of the high voltage 
capacitor.
• The negative 4,000 Volts DC is applied to the filament 
of the magnetron.
WHEN THE OVEN IS SET AT ANY LEVEL 
EXCEPT MAXIMUM.
• The micom controller controls the ON-OFF time of 
relay 2 by the applied signal to vary the average output 
power of microwave oven as POWER LEVEL. 
(refer to page 1-1)
• One complete cycle of relay 2 is 22 seconds.
WHEN THE DOOR IS OPENED DURING 
COOKING
• Both the primary switch and relay 2 cut off the primary 
winding voltage of the high voltage transformer.
• ON-OFF of relay 2 is coupled electrically with opening 
and closing of the secondary switch.
• When the door is opened, the secondary switch is 
opened and when the door is closed, the secondary 
switch is closed.
• The cooking time stops counting down.
• Relay stops functioning.
• As the door is opened, if the contact of primary switch 
and relay2 and/or secondary switch fail to open, the 
fuse opens due to the large current surge caused by 
the monitor switch activation, which in turn stops 
magnetron oscillation.
