4.1. Variable power cooking
control
High Voltage Inverter Power Supply (U) controls output power
by the signal from Digital Programmer Circuit (DPC). Power
relay RY3 always stays ON, but PWM (pulse width modulation)
signal controls microwave output power.
NOTE:

NOTE:
The ON/OFF time ratio does not correspond with the
percentage of microwave power since approximately 2
seconds are required for heating of magnetron
filament.

4.2. Inverter power supply circuit
The Inverter Power Supply circuit powered from the line
voltage, 220V 50Hz AC input supplies 4,000V DC to the
magnetron tube, and functions in place of the H.V. transformer,
the H.V. capacitor and H.V. diode.
1. The AC input voltage 220-240V 50Hz is rectified to DC
voltage, 220V 50Hz AC input supplies 4,000V DC to the
magnetron tube, and functions in place of the H.V. transformer,
the H.V. capacitor and H.V. diode.
1. The AC input voltage 220-240V 50Hz is rectified to DC
voltage immediately.
2. DC voltage will be supplied to the switching devices called
IGBT. These devices are switched ON-OFF by the 20 to 40
KHz PWM (pulse width modulation) signal from the
microcomputer in the DPC.
KHz PWM (pulse width modulation) signal from the
microcomputer in the DPC.
3. This drives the High voltage transformer to increase voltage
up to 2,000V AC.
4. Then the half-wave doubler voltage rectifier circuit,
consisting of the H.V. diodes and capacitors, generates the
necessary 4,000V DC needed for the magnetron.
necessary 4,000V DC needed for the magnetron.
5. Output power of the magnetron tube is always monitored by
the signal output from the current transformer built into the
inverter circuit.

6. This signal is fed back to the microcomputer in the DPC to
determine operating conditions and output necessary to
control PWM signal to the Inverter Power Supply for control
of the output power.

3. The digital programmer circuit senses the oven cavity
temperature through oven temp sensor (thermistor). When
the oven temperature reaches the set temperature, DPC
stops supplying high level signal to the power relays, and

Combination cooking is accomplished by microwave and grill
cooking (upper heater) being done synchronously during one
combination cooking cycle. One combination cooking cycle is
33 seconds.
