Forum Discussion
During some lab testing I did years ago, I remember having a discussion about microwave ovens, specifically the difference between industrial microwave (not necessarily used for cooking food) and residential microwave ovens. If I remember correctly, one difference is that residential microwaves usually don't filter the AC going to the magnetron, so the magnetron only operates for segments of the AC waveform, essentially turning on/off at 120 Hz. Since the output of most inverters are modified sine waves, it does not surprise me that a microwave oven would have reduced output when operating from an inverter.
I think I remember correctly that industrial microwaves are usually rectified three phase so the magnetron can run continuously.
