A microwave listed the input power at 1000 watts/output power at 1800 watts. What is considered input power? The power that energizes the magnetron.
Thanks

Power Rating: The maximum amount of continuous input power (in watts) a power divider or power combiner can safely handle without permanent performance degradation. For a power divider, max input power is dependent on the VSWR and phase of loads connected to the outputs. For a power combiner, max input power is dependent on the properties of the input signals and the magnitude of any combining loss they suffer. Ultimately, power rating is directly related to the power handling capability of the isolation resistors, as it is through these resistors that most power is dissipated.
The power output is a product of the power supply, not the magnetron.
Good point, I know watts are watts... I know watts are watts. .... I know watts are watts.
What gives?
