CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
· As the door is closed, the contact of MONITOR SWITCH opens. This switch creates the short circuit to blow fuse during operation under abnormal condition. (ie, should the contacts of primary and secondary switch fail to open the circuit) · The latches are secured by latch board. The oven light turns on while the oven is in operation.

WHEN THE DOOR IS OPENED DURING COOKING
· Both primary switch and secondary switch open to cut off the primary winding voltage to the high voltage transformer to stop microwave oscillation. · Timer, turntable and fan motor stop. · As the door is opened, if the contact of primary 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.

· Turntable rotates. · The fan motor rotates and cools the magnetron by blowing the air (coming from the intake holes on the baseplate) over the magnetron. · The air is also directed into the oven to exhaust the vapor in the oven through the upper plate. · Timer starts rotating. · 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 diode and charging of the high voltage capacitor. The negative DC voltage is then applied to the filament of the magnetron.
