Microwave watt does it vary according to temp settings

Microwave watt does it vary according to temp settings - Colorful Toothed Wheels

I have an inverter of 600watt. If I want to use a microwave of 700watt on the inverter and set the microwave temperature on medium and not high does the watt output of the microwave become less the lower the temperature?



Best Answer

To your title, the answer is maybe (or yes if you average over a long enough time).

To the body of your question - the answer is it probably won't work. Here's why: The microwave is meant to put out 700W. It's not 100% efficient so will consume more than that (also for the light and turntable motor).

Most microwaves reduce their power by being fully on for a few seconds, off for a few seconds. Some models have a type of inverter inside, and run at a lower continuous power but these tend to be higher-power models (mine, for example, is rated at 1000W).

Even then, your 600W inverter might be 600W peak or 600W continuous. If it's rated to 600W continuous, it may be able to handle peaks of 700W+, but quite likely not for long. It may also not be able to deliver its full rated power into a microwave - not all loads are created equal and the rating is probably for something simpler to drive such as a heater.

How does wattage affect microwave?

When it comes to microwaves, wattage equals power. A 1,000-watt microwave will cook quickly and efficiently, so that's a great baseline. Microwaves with 700 watts or less are slower and may not cook evenly. In general, the higher the wattage, the faster the cooking time.

What temperature does a 1000 watt microwave cook at?

This would be like an \u201caverage\u201d oven temperature of 350 degrees. 700 Watts in microwave >> like cooking at 350 degrees 800 Watts >> 450 degrees 900 Watts >> 525 degrees (Self clean) 1000 Watts >> 575 degrees 1100 Watts >> 625 degrees (Blow torch!!)

How hot does a 700 watt microwave get?

The oven temperature would be like an average of 350 degrees. 700 Watts is equivalent to cooking at 350 degrees, 450 degrees, 900 degrees, and 525 degrees in a microwave.

Can you change microwave wattage?

To change the power level on most models:Enter the cooking time in minutes and seconds. Press Power Level. Select a desired power level between 1-10 (Default is 10 which is the highest power level). Press the Start/Pause button.

Answer 2

Yes, inverter microwaves lower the power output depending on the setting so that there is continuous heating/cooking when switched on.

However, normal microwaves do not instead they cycle on and off to control the speed of heating. For example, at 100% it might be on throughout the cooking process, but at 50% it would be on for only 1/2 the time.
