<\/span><\/h2>\n1)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Unplug the Microwave<\/h3>\n
Disconnecting your Microwave from its main power is one of the main important parts of testing the Magnetron. Poking around electricity is never recommended, especially if you do not have much knowledge. On top of that, the last thing you would want is to be careless with power. So, before you run any tests, especially if you do not hire an expert then plug out the power first.<\/p>\n
2)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Discharge the Capacitor<\/h3>\n
The chances are that you may have studied how a capacitor works, even if you are not an engineering student. However, if you have forgotten, do not worry. The job of a capacitor is to store electric current. So, even if the power of the Microwave is fully turned off, the capacitor has the potential to injure you if it is not discharged.<\/p>\n
Discharging the capacitor may be tricky for some people, so you might want to look a detailed guide on that. However, if you know your way around electronics, then, in short, you need to create a short circuit. You can use an insulated screwdriver for this and touch the capacitor terminal with it.<\/p>\n
It is best that if you feel even slightly nervous about this process, then you call an expert. Even though discharging a capacitor are the very basics of electronics, knowing what you are doing is essential.<\/p>\n
3)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Safety Gear<\/h3>\n
Safety gear is always recommended when you are doing any electrical work. The same applies to this, regardless of how simple it may sound. Wearing goggles and most importantly, wooden slippers can be a great idea if you have them.<\/p>\n
