We often see a ceramic fuse (the white ones you can't see through) used in the primary circuits of a microwave oven. The current rating may vary a bit, but 15A is a common value.

What type of energy movement is used by microwave ovens?
Radiation
What type of diode is a HVR-1X4 diode?
It's a high voltage diode, typically used in microwave ovens.
Where were early microwave ovens used?
Microwave ovens were used commercially before entering the home cooking market. Raytheon and Litton Industries Inc., both defense contractors, tried to sell microwave ovens in the United States without much success
What often used for wireless communications and microwave ovens?
Radiation
Was gold wire used in microwave ovens?
We don't see gold wire used in microwave ovens. Gold wire is super expensive, and we can use copper more easily and for less money.
What is the correct way to write the sentence The first microwave ovens were sold in 1960 but everybody didn't use them until the late 1980's?

Is it necessary to use ovens for baking muffins?
Conventional ovens and some toaster ovens can be used to bake muffins. You cannot use a microwave oven to bake regular muffins.
What humans use radio waves?
Radio waves are used to transmit signals from a radio station, and you can receive the signals with a radio, and hear them as sound such as speech or music. The long wavelength of radio waves makes them a suitable medium for transmitting over a large range. it is also use in agriculture...... it is used to diagnose different diseases
Where can I find more information on convection oven cooking?
You can find some more information regarding convection ovens here: http://www.ehow.com/about_5438666_convection-oven-vs-microwave-oven.html It gives an overview of the differences between the more commonly used microwave ovens and convection ovens.
Why are ceramic fuses used in microwave ovens?
Because, if the fuse blows due to an interlock switch failure, it ruptures so hard that a regular glass fuse would shatter, possibly scattering shards of glass into the cooking area, which would create a health hazard.
Does it required to close the food for heating in microwave?
Microwave ovens should not be used if the door will not close tightly. Most microwave ovens will not turn on without the door locking. The door has shielding in the glass to keep stray microwaves within the oven and not going into the room or the person operating the oven.
Are microwave ovens the same as microwaves?
A microwave is a form of electromagnetic radiation in the frequency range between 300 MHz (or 0.3 GHz) and 300 GHz. A microwave is also the "shorthand" name we give to a common appliance called a microwave oven. Are they the same?Whether or not microwave ovens are the same as microwaves depends on the application of the term. Microwave ovens are called that because they contain a microwave generating device and direct the radiated electromagnetic energy (the microwaves themselves) into a cooking space (called a cavity) to heat drinks or food, or even to cook things.Say an appliance salesman is saying to his/her junior helpers, "Arrange the microwaves on the shelves." This refers to the microwave ovens. It's not about electromagnetic energy called microwaves.Take the case of an electronics teacher saying to his/her students, "The microwaves are reflected off the metal screen that is used in the construction of the dish." This does notrefer to microwave ovens, but the electromagnetic energy itself.
