Great job again mate. Thanks for the little more education. Every bit counts!

Knowing that they are tiny, I stockpile the switches for the silver contacts inside. Great info on the inverter type microwave.

Another interesting vid Ben, thanks. My yard pays different price for Cu/Cu transformers vs Cu/Al transformers. I use a wood file to expose the wires to make it easier at the yard.

The inverter is easier to remove the copper but you get less of it! Great to learn the difference! 👍👍

Also, I use tin snips to cut a lot of the pieces off inverter boards, etc.. It has longer reach and makes the job a lot easier.

the first time i scrapped one of those inverter microwaves I kept looking for the "hidden" transformer. I felt really cheated when it was missing!

Love your stuff man! One of the legendary scrappers of KZfaq for sure! :)

Great video keep em coming!!!

Thanks Ben.. That is some good information.....

My microwave has no indication when swithed on.fuse ,power supply is ok.so problem in pcb what?i don't know.pl tell how to check power pcb

TY very much Ben. Nice vid. Now I know to difference of those micros. But which one is better to valuable? and how much ?

What do you do with the microwave magnets thanks?

Do you know of any compact inverter ovens w/o turntable? Looking for something to use in a boat.

Well done Ben👊

Sir, I would like to ask can this microwave inverter works properly ?

Hey Ben, another very educational video! Could you please make a video about different grades of wire according to your scrapyard and how you personally go about to maximize the profit dealing with it. Thanks.

What about difference from the non rotating plate vs. rotating plate?

Can inverter help cool or freeze water instead of heating as microwave

Please ordinary microwave magnetron is the same as inverter own? Please I need response.Thanks.

If yes ,then for how much minutes or hours regular ?

Thanks Ben..

why is there a fan only in the inverter microwave?

Great stuff

Nice 1 mate!!! I like crafty copper.👍

Glad to now know the difference, thanks for sharing Ben

You left behind two awesome magnets.

Chris from the ultimate recycler gets $5 per magnet is two magnets in the microwave. It's pretty good value cheers Graham

Could you use the inverter to power three phase motors ???? Would you let me know if you would sell me the capacitors from the ovens ??? How do you know which transformers have half and half copper aluminum wire ???

I wish to purchase it 👍From where I can purchase it in India?

Good job.

I have only pulled apart 2 mikes, both were copper coated aluminum. Was fun to pull apart but my hands got cut up pretty bad lol.

Why do you not talk about the copper spool? the darker copper I’m confused , you even leave them on your motherboards

Why not the table spinning motor

Megatron , transformers ? The battle of Microwaves ;];p

+eWaste Ben, you can take out the magnetron and sell it with the electric motors.

Inverter models does have a transformer but much smaller as it is operating at high frequency.

I just scraped a microwave with an inverter as well. Do you know why the thicker copper wire is stranded instead of solid?

the 800watts microwave transformer it’s usually burned out very quickly after long used

YUP NICE ..... VIDEO ...! I LIKE IT ..... GO FOR MORE ....

Inverter microwaves were invented to reduce the shipping weight of the product so manufacturers can save money on shipping costs.

You should at least scrap out 1 Megatron you'll be really surprised at how much copper is in there I did it several times but I do love your Channel

I just took apart one of these kinds. i was surprised to see no big iron transformer and big high voltage capacitor.

What about mosfets and other parts yoy want to recycle reuse repurpose those

Aside from scrapping, inverters are much better cooking devices. The PWM circuit gives you a smooth ramp of power instead of blast food - off - blast cycling. Doesn't superheat the outside of your food as much and cooks more evenly, though it takes longer on lower power which is good. Nevertheless, it's still a microwave.

Dam I repair old Microwave, flatscreen TV, project electronics and refrigerator and fix battery for drill as a hobby. I’m looking at all those resistor capacitors ribbon cable . See money thrown away. The carpenters had some Milwaukee battery that went bad 12 amp hour I fix for him and gave him 5 year warranty on top of that . Like I say it a throw away economy I call recycle center and bought a pallet of broken flat screen TV last month. They charge me $40 for 100 plus broken Tv. Friend will ask me to repair stuff once in a while . If it a really expensive to buy a new one. I like to keep extra parts on Hand.

cool like it

Drinking game: take a drink every time he says "Copper" and "Aluminium" :)

4 years ago sure you might have a 20% ratio of aluminum to copper but now it's a different story. Here in western Canada you're lucky to find a brick style copper transformer 10% of the time, the other 90% are all aluminum now.

Hey Mate how are you cleaning the plastic or rubber off AC cords

So the the core is pheryte! Thx!

don't forget about the turntable motor

id take an inverter over a transformer mic any day of the week, did a test recently and for 15 transformer mics, each with 2 coils in them, so out of 30 coils that could have possibly been copper, only 3 were... might have hit a bad run. but it chews up time so i dont bother stripping out mic transformers anymore. just choose to leave them whole. guess id rather keep some time up my sleeve in preference to being punked by aluminium ftransformer coils

Dont you take the magnets out of the magnatrons?

the 7to8 watts microwave transformer is not strong like the 2,000watts transformer

Did u know the motor to turn the plate can be used to generate electric?there's videos on KZfaq showing how to do it!👍😉

There is no charge left in the capacitor, There cant be, There is a discharging resistor inside

I scrapped 5 microwaves and they all had double aluminium transformors, my luck..

the igbt on the extruded aluminum cost more than everything else scrap

The converter design is my work from 2017. ....... 🌐7//_🔥

Because true meaning of inverter is 180 degree wave of microwave

Junk Magnetrons can go in with the scrap electric motors!

Dude, what the fuck! 14:06 "This stuff here.. Soft coppah" ... Do you even now what that wire is and how much is worth on ebay? More than the whole oven at the scrap yard, and a DIYers would pay even more if it's still attached to the rest of the transformer you just crushed to pieces

Never buy microwave with inverter tech , the do suck...mine died after only 4 months, apparently the inverter unit is as costly as a new microwave

I hate these videos with scraping stuff. Good, i got 2 MOTS for free, from scrap! Now i can my make HV supply 6kV

Nagnetron probably has more copper than all the wire combined: it is a solid chunk of machined copper.

Fucken devastator

Inverter is a scam, they get non working after 2 years.

You make me laugh because you are not using metric units. (Like bloody Yanks.) Don't your mates ridicule you? haha.

Waste of time

What a weird narrator. Does he understand himself? I have doubts.
