A conventional power supply of a microwave oven has a 60Hz transformer and high voltage capacitor(HVC). Though it is very simple and has low cost, it has several problems such as large size, heavy weight and low efficiency To improve these problems, various high frequency inverter type power supply have been investigated and developed in recent years. But these cost is higher than the conventional one due to additional control circuit, fast switching devces. In this paper, a novel pulse power supply for microwave oven using high frequency transformer embedded HVC(High Voltage Capacitor) is proposed for down-sizing, cost reduction and efficient improvement. To verify the effectiveness of the proposed transformer, an equivalent circuit of transformer embedded HVC is derived and it's characteristic is described. And the validity of the proposed pulse power supply embedded HVC-high frequency transformer is shown by simulations and experiments accroding to various operating conditions.

A conventional power supply to drive a microwave oven has ferro-resonant transformer and high voltage capacitor(HVC). Though it is simple, transformer is bulky, heavy and has low-efficiency. To improve this defect, a high frequency inverter type power supply has been investigated and developed in recent years. But, because of additional control circuit and switching device, inverter-type power supply is more expensive than conventional one. In this study, The design procedure of a novel HVC embedded high frequency transformer is proposed for down-sizing and cost reduction of Inverter-type power supply. Also, equivalent circuit mode] is derived by FEM analysis and impedance measurements. And the operation of proposed HVC embedded transformer is verified by simulations and experimental results.

This paper describes novel high voltage capacitor(HVC) embedded high frequency transformer and novel inverter power supply topology for driving magnetron in microwave oven. This transformer is used to achieve down­sizing, low-cost and efficiency improvement. Proposed transformer has HVC in its secondary winding. Therefore, this transformer does not need external high voltage capacitor which used in conventional power supply. As use of this transformer, output voltage is shifted from ground to above 2000[V] and efficiency of microwave oven can be improved. The weight of proposed transformer is about one sixth of conventional one and efficiency is improved by seven percent compared to the efficiency of the conventional system.
