Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2190261A1] The voltage supply unit (10) has a transformer (16) provided with a primary winding (18) and a secondary winding (20). A voltage multiplication- and rectification circuit (24) is provided with a diode (26) and capacitors (30, 32). The voltage multiplication- and rectification circuit rectifies secondary voltage induced in the secondary winding and multiples the voltage. A frequency detection circuit (34) i.e. digital frequency counter, detects alternating current frequency of the transformer. A switch (28) adjusts capacitance of the capacitors depending on the detected frequency. An independent claim is also included for a method for producing high voltage for a magnetron to produce microwaves in a cooking appliance.
