MEASUREMENT OF THE MICROWAVE 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 temperature 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 normal position.
4. Microwave power is switched on.
5. Heating time should be exactly 52 sec.(KOG-36A5) or 47
sec.(KOG-38A5).
Heating time is measured while the microwave generator is
operating at full power.
The filament heat-up time for magnetrons is not included.
6. The initial and final water temperatures are selected so that the
maximum defference between the ambient and final water
temperature is 5K.
7. The microwave power output P in watts is calculated from the following formula:
• ∆T is actual temperature rise.
• t is the heating time.
The power measured should be 800W(KOG-36A5)±10% or 900W(KOG-38A5)±10%.
CAUTION :
1. Water load should be measured exactly to 1 liters.
2. Input power voltage should be exactly 230 volts as specified.
3. Ambient temperature should be 20±2˚C (68±3.6˚F)
P = 4187 X ∆T/t

MICROWAVE 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.
• Care should be takent not to place the eyes in direct line with the source of microwave energy.
• Slowlyapproach 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 275cc±15cc of tap water initially at 20±5˚C(68±9˚F) in the 600cc beaker with an inside diameter of approx.
9.5cm (3.5 in).
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/cm
2
.
- 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 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 unkow, move the prove 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, erroneous reading may result.
