Hi Group , I have a microwave transformer I need to check the output
voltage on .
I'm sure the voltage will exceed my multi-meter range . The voltage will
exceed 1000 volts . What is the best way to check a transformer of this
type ?
Thanks to all in this group for all responses in advance .

Is your insurance paid up? Does your wife know how to cut off the power
and
do CPR?

Agree:
Be careful not only of the AC voltage on the secondary of that transformer
but the voltage doubling DC circuit which can more than adequately kill you!
Not only that; if you operate with the cover off stand clear of possible
microwave radiation!
After all they are a half kilowatt microwave transmitter in a tin box!
I will venture a guess that if the transformer (with the power off and
unplugged) tests continuity and doesn't look burnt up, it is not faulty.
More likely another component, all operating at very (repeat very) high
voltage.
