This is correct. Your capacitor only has two terminals. There just happens to be multiple connectors per terminal. Shorting any connector from one terminal to any connector from the other terminal will work.Looks like 3 are common to each other and two are common on the other side, IOW only any two.
Essentially a two terminal cap.
In a micro wave it is very very seldom that any charge still exists.
Max.
They do not. You are correct.And I don't believe they have an internal bleed-off resistor.
yes discharge them two times, or you are in for a surprise.This is correct. Your capacitor only has two terminals. There just happens to be multiple connectors per terminal. Shorting any connector from one terminal to any connector from the other terminal will work.
As for no charge, I strongly disagree. Those caps can store a charge for a long time, as well as build up a nasty phantom charge over time. Don't take any chances.
Those diodes are not for protection. They are connected with the capacitor to form a voltage doubler. An MOT can generally only provide 1-2kv, whereas the magnetron requires 2-4kv.Love the massive protection diodes. Only place I've seen asymmetric diodes (in microwaves).
Given that the oil caps have a built in resistor of 10M doesn't mean you shouldn't discharge them. It will still take time for the capacitor to discharge. Better safe than dead.
Interesting. Thank you for the correction.Those diodes are not for protection. They are connected with the capacitor to form a voltage doubler. An MOT can generally only provide 1-2kv, whereas the magnetron requires 2-4kv.
