Abstract

A zero-crossing signal is generated in response to the zero-crossing of the current of an AC power source of a magnetron oscillator, and in response to the zero-crossing signal a triac connected between the magnetron oscillator and the AC power source is turned on to generate a microwave. The triac is turned off when the voltage of the AC power source becomes lower than a holding voltage of the triac.
