Abstract

A quasi push-pull single switch current-fed fly-back converter is used as the power supply for the magnetron of a microwave oven. A voltage doubler output circuit has a high impedance. A small magnetic circuit includes a transformer having a primary winding in series with an IGBT switch means and in series with an inductor. A single diode is connected in series with the inductor. A secondary winding is connected to the voltage doubler. A tertiary winding is coupled to a pulse width modification, i.e. for controlling the conductor sequence of the IGBT.
