Microwave Ovens Powered By DC/AC Inverters

摘要

I am seeking some advice on using microwave ovens running from a DC-to-AC power inverter supply.My experience is that an 800W microwave oven fails to operate on an inverter which supplies 1500W continuous of modified sinewave power.I can think of two possible reasons - either a pure sinewave power signal is required for the microwave generator(like a fluoro light or other EMR generator)and/or the timing electronics requires a true sinewave signal to control the microwave generator.Could you please comment on other reasons beyond my knowledge base which might explain why a microwave oven fails to operate from a modified sinewave which supplies double the required wattage?
