I have a magnetron from a common microwave oven, the power supply in the oven was broken, but I have a new one.
My replacement power supply is between 6000 volts and 7500 volts.
I'm worried that this is too high and may damage the magnetron.
Is it an acceptable operating range for a magnetron?

how do you know the power level of him?

what?

you know the power level of the common but not the broken
how?

What does the capacitor have as its rating? That is what will determine what gets through to your magnetron. If you replace the cap, get the same rated cap. The MOT should be as close to the cap as possible.

Remember if you screw around with a magnetron and accidentally boil your eyeballs you have no one to blame but yourself... use caution with that..

It's admittedly a worst case scenario, But i know a bit about waveguides, magnetrons, and the general amount of energy in a couple thousand watts to think that I don't know enough to safely play around with magnetrons...
