If the transformr is inside the microwave, something could've shorted causing things to draw more current, more current makes more saturation of the iron core, causing the coils to burn. If this continues, IMMEDIATLY salvage the parts, as inverter microwaves are annoying and are a PAIN to repair. Also when you take the transformer out you can get 2000v easily but with inverters you need some company's trade secret frequencies. Hope this helped! Also transformer based microwaves are not exactly made anymore so keep the parts (All of them) as they will be HISTORY. Oh and if the microwave transformer is outside and you've hooked it up to 120 (Getting 2000v out) then what you're doing on the output is drawing too much current. MOT's (Microwave oven Transformers) can only handle about 2A before overheating. In that case buy a ballast inbetween the mot and the 120v input. It will limit current draw from the mot to the wall preventing overcurrent. Hope this helped!

Can a constant dc current induce a steady state voltage in a transformer?
No. A constant DC current of sufficient magnitude induces smoke in a transformer.
Why you need the current transformer and voltage transformer?
The High voltage transformer allows the microwave to run using the magnetron. With ony 120v to the magnetron, the cooking will be like with a 50-100W microwave. The high current is to manage current to the MOT with out oveheating while delivering current to the other parts of the microwave <<>> A CT. and PT. are required for any service enterance distributions over 200 amps. The CT's maximum amperage output is 5 amps and the PT's output is usually 120 volt in North American installations. These two values are inputted into a Watt hour meter. The total on the meter is then calculated by the utility company's rate and a bill for use is sent to the customer.
What is the hermetically sealed transformer?
Hermatically sealed transformer is a transformer design which has no conservator. Here the dielectric insulating fluid in the transformer tank is completely sealed and is in zero contact to the atmosphere. This type of transformer is used in applications where the transformer is to be installed in harsh climatic conditions(smoke,pollution,dusty environment,etc) or user prefers low maintenance transformer. The design avoids air in the transformer tank therby avoiding sludging and oxidation of the dielectric fluid. Hence it would be safe to say that these transformers need no maintenance of the dielectric insulatating fluid(usually Oil). Normally these type of transformers are accommodated by devices that measure heat related volume variations. Gas cushion is used to compensate the volume variation due to heat. Normally the gas is nitrogen. This gas is thermally uncoupled from the dielectric liquid.
What is center tap transformer?
Center tap transformer is the such kind of transformer that is made to a point half way along a winding of a transformer.
What is the application of pluse transformer?
why should we use pulse transformer rather than ordinary transformer
What does a transformer in a microwave oven do?
It outputs high voltage so that the magnetron (which is recieving the 2000v the Microwave transformer produces) can emit microwaves and it will cook the food but if fed lower voltage it is like a lower wattage it will cook slower
How do you rid microwave of burned smoke odor. A potato overcooked in paper towel and created lots of smoke. Smells like a fire in my microwave. Any suggestions?
Febreeze!!(:
Where does styrofoam go when melted in the microwave?
It's chemical structure is altered by the microwave and it becomes smoke, it doesn't actually melt in the microwave, it burns.
What you find from short circuit of power transformer?
A: Usually smoke and smell
Can a constant dc current induce a steady state voltage in a transformer?
No. A constant DC current of sufficient magnitude induces smoke in a transformer.
If you have a 1000kva transformer than can you work on that transformer?
No. From what you're saying you're taking the input to the 2kV transformer in a microwave and replacing it with a 1MW input. The transformer will burn in milliseconds of power. <<>> The installation and maintenance of a 1000 KVA transformer can be worked on in a de energized state. To do so live could be extremely dangerous at any voltage.
Can you use the same transformer for door bell and smoke detector?
Umm let me think. NO!
What energy powers a microwave?
A microwave oven uses the 120 V AC coming out of your kitchen receptacle (in the United States) and by means of a transformer and rectifier converted to 7000 V DC which is then used to energize the magnetron that creates the microwave energy.
Why does smoke come out of your microwave when you heat up a scone?
It is actually steam, not smoke, that is released. Condensation causes there to be small amounts of moisture within the scone. Heating the scone in the microwave turns the water into steam, and the steam is then released.
Do you need a charcoal filter for your microwave?
Yes, but only if the over the range microwave is not vented to the outside. The charcoal filter will help remove smoke and odor circulated back into the room.

Can a transformer increase the 12 volt of electric charge into desirable voltage?
A transformer can change any AC voltage to any other AC voltage. But if you put DC into a transformer, the main component at the output is smoke. Furthermore, sir, you have insulted 12 volts by implying that it is undesirable.
