Experiment No- 9
Experiment Name: Assembling and disassembling of transformer of microwave
oven.
Material required
Multipurpose screwdriver, continuity tester, microwave oven, simple screwdriver.
Diagram:
Procedure
Follow the following steps to disassemble and test the relay of microwave oven.
a) Detach the housing as shown in figure
b) Unscrew four screws fixed in baseboard and take them out together with
the transformer.
c) Pull out the wiring plug of the primary, secondary and high voltage
filament of transformer as shown in figure
d) Check the electromagnetic field on the transformer using screwdriver
Results:
In this experiment, we have studied about the Assembling and
disassembling of transformer of microwave oven.
Experiment No-10
Experiment Name: Assembling and disassembling of magnetron and testing of
magnetron
Material required
Multipurpose screwdriver, continuity tester, microwave oven, simple screwdriver.
Diagram:
Procedure
Follow the following steps to disassemble and test the magnetron of microwave
oven.
a) Detach the housing of microwave oven as shown in figure
b) Pull out the wiring plug of the magnetron
c) Disassemble the magnetron from the housing
d) Check the magnetron for any burn or damage in the anode and cathode as
shown in figure 4.20 and 4.21. Use continuity tester to test the anode and
cathode terminal of the magnetron. If there is continuity between the
anode and cathode that defines, magnetron is working properly.
e) Check any breakage or crack in the magnet of the magnetron
f)
Results:
In this experiment, we have studied about the Assembling and
disassembling of Magnetron of microwave oven.
Experiment No- 11
Experiment Name: Testing of the fuse of microwave oven.
Material required
Multipurpose screwdriver, microwave oven, simple screwdriver.
Diagram:
Procedure
Follow the following steps to disassemble and test the fuse of microwave oven.
a) Detach the housing of microwave oven as shown in figure
b) Pull out fuse present between the transformer and the high voltage
capacitor as shown in figure Test it using continuity tester, if it is found
fused then replace the fuse.
Results:
In this experiment, we have studied about the Assembling and
disassembling of Fuse of microwave oven & test the fuse.
Experiment No- 12
Experiment Name: Testing of the High Voltage Capacitor of microwave oven.
Material required:
Multipurpose screwdriver, continuity tester, microwave oven, simple screwdriver,
nose plier.
Diagram:
Procedure:
Follow the following steps to disassemble and test the high voltage capacitor of
microwave oven.
a) Remove the housing of microwave oven. High voltage capacitor with high
rating diode is shown in Fig.
b) Discharge the capacitor using nose plier. Carefully short the terminals of
capacitor using nose pliers
c) After discharging the capacitor, remove the wires connected to the
capacitor terminals using nose plier .Check the capacitor using continuity
tester.
d) If the capacitor is found to be shorted, replace the capacitor. Remove the
bracket of the capacitor mounted on the body of microwave oven
e) Replace the capacitor with the same parameters, like capacitance value,
voltage rating, etc.
f) Mount the capacitor on the body of microwave oven, connect the wire to
the terminals of new capacitor as shown in Fig. 4.32.
g)
Results:
In this experiment, we have studied about the Assembling and
disassembling of Fuse of microwave oven and test the High Voltage
capacitor.
