4.1. Variable power cooking
control (NE-1027)
The vari-power controller controls the ON-OFF time of the vari-
power switch to vary the output power of the microwave oven
from "100" to "1000". The vari-power controller is a part of the
timer assembly. The timer assembly consists of timer motor,
timer switch, vari-power switch and the combination of gears,
cam and actuater lever.
One complete cycle of the vari-power controller is 26 seconds,
in which the vari-power switch is turned "on" or "off" by the cam
rotation is the 26 ± 2 second period.
By controlling the timing of the vari-power switch "on" period,
the power AC supplied to the high voltage transformer is
interrupted intermittently so that the average output power of
the microwave oven is varied.
Table shows the timing chart of vari-power switch operation in
respect to the power setting on the control panel.

The ON/OFF time ratio does not correspond with the
percentage of microwave power since approximately 2
seconds are required for heating of magnetron
filament.

4.2. Variable power cooking
control (NE-1037)
The coil of power relay B (RY1) is energized intermittently by
the digital programmer circuit, when the oven is set at any
power selection except for High power position. The digital
programmer circuit controls the ON-OFF time of power relay B
(RY1) contacts in order to vary the output power of the
microwave oven from "Low" to "High" power. One complete ON
and OFF cycle of power relay B is 22 seconds. The relation
between indications on the control panel and the output of the
microwave oven is as shown in table.
