Hi: 9° Lo:5°
By Tristan Harris Friday 04 April 2014 Updated: 04/04 23:15
THE NORTH Worcestershire Basement Project which provides a daytime drop-in service and outreach support service for young people who are homeless or facing homelessness has been given a £3272.62 cash boost from Basepoint Bromsgrove.
The cash was raised from a number of charity activities, including supermarket bag packs, church events, quiz nights and open events held by volunteers and community groups as part of the National Garden Scheme.
The Basement Project, based in Worcester Road, Bromsgrove, is run by qualified youth workers, supported by volunteers.
Grant-making charity The ACT Foundation, which is dedicated to improve the lives of those in need, owns the Basepoint Centres.
It will match funding, up to the value of £10,000, raised by any of the Basepoint centres.
Elaine Beaumont, Basepoint Bromsgrove's centre manager, said: "We are delighted to be able to present this cheque to The Basement Project. It is fantastic opportunity to support a local charity and work alongside the local community to help raise funds for such a worthy cause."
Carole Hill, the Basement Project's finance and administration manager, said: "We are grateful to Basepoint for their continued support over the years."

Halifax County supervisors meeting postponed
SoVaNow.com / March 06, 2014Due to weather conditions, the Halifax County Board of Supervisors had to delay their regular monthly meeting set for Monday, March 3 until Monday, March 10 at 6:30 p.m. in the second floor meeting room of the Mary Bethune Complex.
The agenda for the delayed meeting will be the same with a public hearing scheduled on a request from the W.A. Stratton Construction Company for a conditional use permit which will allow Lee Pulliam to operate a race shop at 2103 Alton Post Office Road.
Public hearings for two other requests for conditional use permits are expected to be scheduled for the Board's April meeting.
Earlier on Monday afternoon Supervisors are expected to enter into closed session at 3:30 p.m. to interview candidates for the vacancy on the Board in ED#3, following the resignation in February of Supervisor Earl Womack.
Following the Board's regular meeting Supervisors will enter into a budget work session to once again review budget requests of the various agencies and departments and consider the recommendations of staff for the coming year's budget. The budget work session is expected to begin around 7 p.m.

By its very nature, the unexpected is hard to predict. Particularly difficult to plan for are compound events, the domino effect in which one seemingly minor incident leads to cataclysmic chain reaction which brings everything grinding to a halt.
The real job of a disaster recovery strategy is to ensure that whatever the disruptive event, vital data can be recovered and mission-critical applications be brought back online in the shortest possible timeframe.
During this web seminar we will be looking at the sorts of incidents that can bring data centres grinding to a halt and what can be done about them.

The book is good, but It would have been great without the repeditive, graphical, sex scenes.
"Not Very Interesting"
First I must say that I personally thought Jeff Woodman was marvelous. I absolutely understand why some have disagreed with my opinion. One tires of listening to the persnickety Lord John often. However, Woodman's task was to read the material as it fit the character and this is the way it was written by the author. Blame the author, not the reader. Lord John is often snide, with an arrogance that comes from his sense of entitlement. Having lived in England I can tell you that Woodman captured him perfectly. Sad, but true. Great job with the other characters also.
I just didn't care for the book that much. Some have seemed to object to the homosexual nature of the book. Well it certainly is that. Lord John seems to constantly on the prowl. That was not a major concern of mine going in, although I must admit it gets old. I tired of listening to Lord John's lascivious thoughts. But more importantly to me, Lord John just does not seem to be very nice to his lovers after the fact. In reality, I think his "true love" of Jamie might have roots in the knowledge that Jamie is unavailable. In addition, I did not like the way John treated Percy, I wouldn't want to read about a heterosexual cad and a homosexual one even less. I understand that he has his moments of kindness, but for the most part John is just spoiled, selfish and boring.
If another author had written this book, my thought is that it would have been regarded in a much more negative manner. There is not much adventure or great story. Just Lord John walking around ogling the boys, sounding like a fop.
One of the major reasons, I purchased these books was the suggestion that Jamie played a larger role in them. He does not. Do not buy this book to learn about Jamie. You will be sorely disappointed.
"Passing on the remainder of the series."
I loved The Outlander series and was hoping this series would offer a similar story line. I am disappointed.
The final book in The Outlander series? Waiting patiently.
Very good voice.
Sorry, no. I did listen to it all the way to the end, but just couldn't get into it. I'm no quitter, and even though I wasn't completely interested I did finish the book.
"Terrible deviation of the Outlander Story"
The John Story is a massive deviation from the Outlander series / journey. The stories, although using the same names, really does not do the original stories justice. This should be advertised as a separate story completely, and not be leveraging the Outlander name. This may be your "cup of tea", just know it is vastly different.
It had next to nothing to do with the Outlander series
I was not ready for the tone of the book. I have listened to the entire series 3 times. I think this is more a personal experience than anything the narrator contributed.
No, should not have bought it.
"Mixed -"
I mostly enjoyed this book. While I like the character, Lord John Grey whom I first encountered in the Outlander series, and I love the way Diana Gabaldon spins a good story, this one had a few flaws. First, I could have done without so much explicit male/male sexual detail. Second, I lost track of some of the characters and actually referred back to previous chapters to review their places in the plot. I think the narrator might have been able to help me more in this - while I enjoyed his reading of the book, and the voice he used for Lord John, I thought he was a bit inconsistent in the voices he used for the various characters. And third, I felt deprived when the book ended abruptly with a summary of what could have been a fully developed story line. Nonetheless, I couldn't put the book down while it lasted, think this book important in understanding the character of Lord John Grey, and look forward to the next in the series.
"Love the book, narrator not so much.."
I love the Lord John series and enjoyed this one even more than the first. That being said the quality of this narrator is no where near that of the narrator of the Outlander series. As I'm used to hearing the characters "voices" as done by her it is somewhat jarring to hear them come out completely different by Jeff Woodman. It is a shame they could not use the same narrator for both series.
However, as I really do enjoy this series and LOVE Lord John I will continue to purchase and read them as long as they are offered.
"Lord John and the Brotherhood of the Blade"
Great book, entertaining. But if Diana Gabaldon wrote it you can bet it is a GOOD book. I have read everything I can find by this author and recommend her as the BEST author of our time.
"Lord John and the Brotherhood of the Blade"
OK reader but couldn't get into the story before I became bored with it. I have always love Diana Gabaldon's books before but not this one, Linda
"Good Read"
Not the best by Diana Gabledon but still, even at her "not best" she is way ahead of whomever is in second place. The whole Outlander series has me wanting her to put out a book every week. Impossible but one can wish.
"Not Prepared"
I only read the Publisher's Summary and that says nothing about this being a book about gay men. I think there should be some sort of warning in the summary. I had no idea that Lord John was gay.I am not a prude and have nothing against gay men. I just don't prefer to read about men having sex with men. As for that I don't prefer romance novels either that spend too much time describing sex between man and woman. At least when it says "Harlequin" everyone knows what the book is about. I usually don't read the reviews because some people review too much and give things away. But I will definitely read the reviews in the future.

Ashley-Cooper following Muliaina's blueprint
July 22, 2010
Adam Ashley-Cooper is keen to take the attack to South Africa © Getty Images
Australia fullback Adam Ashley-Cooper has promised to take the attack to South Africa in Brisbane on Saturday after taking a leaf out of All Black Mils Muliaina's book.
Muliaina was at the heart of New Zealand's recent Tri-Nations victories over the Springboks in Auckland and Wellington, responding to their usual barrage of high kicks by sparking numerous counters with ball in hand, and Ashley-Cooper is keen to follow suit at Suncorp Stadium.
The Brumbies utility has been restored to the No.15 jersey, with James O'Connor shifted to the wing, and he will refuse to be drawn into a kicking duel with South Africa's new-look halfback combo of Ruan Pienaar and Morne Steyn.
"Instead of getting into that kicking duel what Mils did was change it up and obviously just attacked and he attacked from everywhere on the park," Ashley-Cooper told AAP. "The Springboks weren't expecting that so it's something I've definitely noticed and recognised and something I'll be doing on Saturday night.
"Just be decisive as Mils was. He made a decision early and went through with it. He's who I regard as the best fullback in the world at the moment."
The Springboks are out to overcome their Brisbane hoodoo, having not won in the city since 1971, and Ashley-Cooper will be keen to extend that run after scoring a try in last season's 21-6 Suncorp Stadium win, the only time during their Tri-Nations triumph that the Boks were derailed.

BBC Suffers 'Serious Lapse' in Care of 13-Year-Old Actor, Says Ofcom
LONDON -- The media watchdog Ofcom is criticizing the BBC for a "serious lapse" in its duty of care to a 13-year-old actor who appeared in violent scenes in the BBC 2 police drama Line of Duty.
The regulator told the public broadcaster that the program did not do enough to protect the child actor in scenes that saw him head-butted before he attempted to sever a policeman's fingers with pair of bolt cutters.
In reply, the BBC told Ofcom it was in "constant dialogue" with the teenager's parents, who were content that he could cope with the emotional demands -- despite this being his first acting role.
But Ofcom, which launched an investigation following a single complaint from a viewer, ruled the program had breached broadcasting rules requiring that "due care must be taken over the physical and emotional welfare and the dignity of people under 18."
STORY: BBC Outs Itself for Lesbian and Gay Stereotypes
The regulator said 13-year-old Gregory Piper, who played a character named Ryan Pilkington (described as a child-runner for a violent criminal gang), had appeared in scenes which were "of a particularly violent nature and included sexually explicit language."
Ofcom said the scene in question shows his character being handed bolt cutters after being head-butted while shouting: "Give it, give it, now hold his hand out and give me that f---ing finger."
In a later interrogation by another police officer, Pilkington is told: "You're a tough kid, Ryan, or at least you think you are. If you carry on like this, the place you are going has 16-year-olds, 17-year-olds and they are built like brick sheds; how do you think you'll fare against one of those lads? They knock your teeth out, Ryan; they do that so you give a better blow job."
The regulator said it was "particularly concerned that there did not appear to be anyone who was independent and had no direct interest in the child actor's participation in the series involved in the decision making regarding his participation."
The "violent nature of the 'bolt cutter' scene and the sexually explicit language used by DC Fleming [actress Vicky McClure] were such 'extreme' cases and, given the child actor's direct involvement in both scenes, would have warranted the broadcaster to seek expert opinion on whether it was appropriate for the child actor to participate in them," Ofcom said.
Made by independent producer World, the gritty police show aired in June and July this year and has been commissioned for a second installment.
Ofcom called for a meeting with the BBC to reiterate the "paramount importance" of rules regarding child participation following what it described as the pubcaster's "serious lapse."
In its defense, the BBC detailed to Ofcom 11 separate steps it had taken before filming to allay any concerns about potential emotional risks to the young actor.
The BBC said in a statement to the regulator: "We believe that overall the decisions and arrangements made minimized any risk of emotional harm during the filming process itself."
But the broadcaster later admits that best practice was not used during the filming of the interview scene.
Sections of the dialogue should have been filmed separately to avoid the teenage actor's exposure to sexually explicit language, the BBC conceded.
While the BBC said it agreed with the producers' assessment that they had exercised "due care," the pubcaster did say that "best practice would have guarded against the possibility that the assessment was mistaken."
And it also sent Ofcom a letter from the actor's mother describing his first turn on television as a very positive experience and adding that the actor had suffered no harm or distress as a result of either scene.
But Ofcom said it was "particularly concerned about the child actor's exposure to sexualized language" and said the BBC should have involved third-party experts rather than relying on its own judgment and that of the teenager's parents.

Car engines are most inefficient when they are cold. Active grille shutters help engines warm up faster by closing off the air that comes through the grille and flows through the radiator. This enables the coolant to warm up faster. Active grille shutters, available on such vehicles as the Chevrolet Cruze (pictured above), Cadillac ATS and certain version of the Ford Fiesta, also help improve aerodynamic efficiency.

Marlon Byrd goes on DL with multiple facial fractures
May 22, 2011, 7:48 PM EDT
Center fielder Marlon Byrd was released from the hospital Sunday after an overnight stay, but the Cubs confirmed that he had suffered multiple fractures as a result of Saturday's beaning and placed him on the disabled list.
Needing some relief help after scratching Matt Garza from his scheduled start tonight, the Cubs called up right-hander Justin Berg to replace Byrd.
Byrd was struck near his left eye by an Alfredo Aceves fastball in the second inning of Saurday's game against the Red Sox. The Cubs have no timetable for his return.
Aceves said he tried to get in touch with Byrd to apologize over the incident, but he's so far been unsuccessful.
Reed Johnson will start in Byrd's place tonight and figures to have a large role while Byrd is out. Tyler Colvin, who started 14 games in center field for the Cubs last year, was demoted to Triple-A last week after hitting .113 in 62 at-bats. Triple-A Iowa's primary center fielder, Fernando Perez, is batting just .207/.319/.310 in 116 at-bats.
Top prospect Brett Jackson, who would have been a candidate to step in, has missed the last 11 days with a finger injury. He was hitting .295/.420/.518 with four homers and 13 steals for Double-A Tennessee before going down.

He's lucky he still has his eye, but busted bones aint no never mind either. Anyhow, I'm real happy that's all it turned out to be.
- wonkypenguin - May 23, 2011 at 10:03 AM
I just can't believe he bounced up and ran off the field. I mean, it looked HORRENDOUS. I hope his eyesight is fine and the bones heal quickly. Wow.
- fordman84 - May 23, 2011 at 2:04 PM
I figured he broke some orbital bones when they broke in to show that. Glad he didn't have eye damage. He's a tough cookie, hope he is able to get this behind him and step into the batters box without any issues. Not sure I'd be able to.

Wichita chamber survey: No new taxes
- Chris Moon
The Wichita Metro Chamber of Commerce released a poll Wednesday showing 68 percent of employers in the region believe the Legislature should cut spending to solve its budget shortfall.
The chamber used the scientific poll, conducted by Oklahoma-based Cole Hargrave Snodgrass & Associates, to advance its position against a tax increase as a way to balance the state's budget.
State lawmakers will return to Topeka next week to consider ways to fix its budget shortfall. Gov. Mark Parkinson has proposed a one-cent sales tax increase.
In a letter to chamber members Wednesday, board chairman Sam Williams said the survey "reflects the sentiments of business and the strong preference for cutting government spending to deal with the budget shortfall."
The survey was conducted March 8-11 of 300 randomly selected business owners and CEOs. It had a margin of error of 5.6 percent.
The survey results showed 68 percent of business owners and CEOs favored cutting spending to fix the state's budget problems. Seventeen percent said the Legislature should increase taxes.
Sixty-one percent of respondents said they pay too much in taxes already. Another 32 percent said they pay "about the right amount."
In an open-ended question, 26 percent of business owners and CEOs said taxation was the most important issue facing Kansas businesses. Nineteen percent said unemployment was, and 11 percent said it was "mandates and regulations."
"In all our Chamber meetings, we have heard one resounding message: a tax increase at this time would have a devastating impact on our members and lead to additional job losses and business closures," said Williams, managing partner of advertising agency Sullivan Higdon & Sink Inc., in his letter to chamber members. "This would only exacerbate the state's financial problems and lead to even more tax increases. As a state, we cannot afford to continue this downward spiral."
The results of the survey can be found here.

A high frequency heating appliance has a monitor circuit for a door switch, wherein a current-limiting resistor and a fuse are provided in the monitor circuit for the door switch and serve as components of a bypass circuit for a relay. This arrangement prevents a large current from flowing when monitoring faults with the door switch and also prevents a rush current from flowing during normal operation.
1. A high frequency heating appliance having a transformer for supplying power to a high frequency emission source, a relay contact for opening and closing a main circuit for supplying power to said transformer, a first door switch interlocked to the opening and closing of a door, said door switch opening and closing said main circuit, a second door switch which is adapted to be closed after a time delay from said opening of said first door switch when said door is opened, a bypass circuit connected in parallel to said relay contact and a monitor circuit which is opened and closed by means of said second door switch;
wherein a series connected circuit consisting of a circuit breaker and a current limiting device is inserted in a common circuit forming part of said monitor circuit and part of said bypass circuit and wherein said relay contact is driven by a current supplied at least through said circuit breaker.
2. A high frequency heating appliance according to claim 1, wherein start-up means are provided in said bypass circuit.
3. A high frequency heating appliance according to claim 1, wherein start-up means are provided in said main circuit.
This application is a continuation of now abandoned application Ser. No. 444,394, filed Nov. 18, 1982.
This invention relates to a monitor circuit for a door safety switch used in high frequency heating appliances such as microwave ovens having an electric wave emission start circuit.
High frequency heating appliances such as microwave ovens generally use a magnetron as a means for generating microwaves and a magnetic leakage type transformer as a means for supplying a high voltage to operate the magnetron. Because of the nature of heating appliances, this transformer must be a high-input power type ranging from 1 KW to 5 KW. When such a large transformer of the magnetic leakage type is used, a very large excitation rush current will flow depending upon the turn-on phase of the power. If φA is the magnetic flux in the core during rated operation, and φMAX is the saturated magnetic flux, and φB is the residual magnetic flux, then a magnetic flux of up to (2 φA +φB -φMAX) will be generated through the air-core effective cross-sectional area of the coil. The amount of rush current corresponding to this magnetic flux will act as a rush current, whose value is very large, culculated from ##EQU1## where μ0 is the permeability of air; n is the number of turns of the primary winding; A is the air-core effective cross-sectional area. As an actually measured value, there is a current value of about 150 A recorded during a period ranging from a half-cycle to 2 cycles.
This rush current has various adverse effects on the appliance itself and on the power source connected thereto. For example, it imposes an excessive load on the switch or relay contacts, sometimes actuating the breaker associated with the power source. Therefore, it is necessary to take measures to avoid rush current.
FIG. 1 shows a circuit conventionally used as such a measure. In the figure, power is supplied through a fuse 1, a timer switch 2 is closed, a door is closed, a door switch 3 is opened, a door switch 4 and a door switch 5 are closed, and a start button is pressed to close a start switch 6, whereupon a current flows through the primary coil of a transformer 8 via a resistor 7 for rush current prevention purposes and a voltage is induced between the 8-a terminal and 8-b terminals of the primary coil to produce a current flowing through the coil 9-a of a relay, closing the contact 9-b of the relay to complete the main circuit, with the relay 9 self-holding to supply power to a magnetron 10, thereby generating microwaves.
In this arrangement, since the transformer 8 is excited by a voltage which is lower than the value for normal operation applied thereto, said voltage being supplied for about 20 msec from the time the start switch 6 is closed until the time the relay contact 9-b is closed, the rush current at the time when the relay contact 9-b is closed so as to complete the main circuit is reduced to a low value. Furthermore, an arrangement for ensuring that upon the opening of the door, the electric waves do not leak, i.e., an arrangement for preventing generation of microwaves upon opening of the door is essential, and its reliability must be very high.
Thus, generally, as shown in FIG. 1, the door switch 4 and door switch 5, adapted to be opened and closed when the door is opened and closed, are provided at different positions on the door to monitor the opening and closing of the door. When the door is opened during operation, however, it cannot absolutely be denied that the load which results from cutting off the circuit and which acts on the door switch 4 or door switch 5 upon opening of the door will never cause troubles such as a fusion of the contact. Thus, in order to further increase reliability so as to ensure that the high frequency heaing appliance will operate satisfactorily throughout its life, an arrangement is made for detecting troubles with the switch 4 so as to cut off the power circuit to thereby stop high frequency oscillation. That is, in this arrangement, if the door switch 4 is damaged and shorted, opening the door closes the door switch 3 to form a short-circuit, thereby allowing a large current to flow which consequently blows the fuse 1, thus securing a safety feature that microwaves will not be generated unless the blown fuse is replaced.
FIG. 2 shows how the switches are attached. Microwaves from the magnetron pass through a waveguide 16 and are suppled to an oven 17. A door 18 is installed on the front side of the oven 17, and a part of a handle 19 forms a movable element 20. Outwardly pulling the handle 19 moves the movable element 20, causing a latch key 21 to rise off a latch hook 22 to thereby make the door 18 ready for opening. In operative connection with the latch key 21, the door switch 4 opens its contact. As the door 18 is opened, a door arm 23 is moved to cause the level of the door switch 3 to return to its original position to close the contact of the door switch 3. An operating panel is installed on the front side of the oven 17, said panel including a button 24 for the start switch 6.
With this conventional arrangement, however, if the power source is 220 V and its impedance is 0.5 Ω, then a large current of 440 A will flow from the time the door switch 3 is closed until the time the fuse 1 is blown, thus producing adverse effects on the power source, such as the cutting-off of the power breaker and an instantaneous drop of source voltage, and presenting problems, such as a fusion of the door switch 3 of the high frequency heating appliance.
Besides these, there has been a circuit shown in FIG. 3. This circuit has a fuse 1 placed in a line which supplies voltage to the coil 9-a of a relay 9, so that when the monitor circuit operates, i.e, when the door 18 is opened with the door switch 4 at fault, the fuse 1 will blow, so that the relay 9 will not operate unless the blown fuse 1 is replaced, thus having a safety feature that microwaves will not be generated in such an event. This arrangement, however, also has drawbacks which remain to be eliminated, including cutting-off of the power breaker, since a large current will flow during monitoring.
Accordingly, an object of the invention is to attain an improvement in safety and reliability by providing protection against rush currents at the start-up time and forestalling ill-effects on a power supply having a breaker etc., which are provided for household circuits, while ensuring monitoring for a shorting failure of the door switch 4.
To serve this end, the present invention provides an appliance for a construction having a transformer 8 for supplying power to the high frequency emission source, a relay contact 9b for opening and closing the main circuit for supplying power to this transformer 8, a door switch 4 which, interlocked to the opening and closing of the door, effects opening and closing of the aforementioned main circuit, a door switch 3 which closes with some delay from the opening of the door switch 4, as the door is opened, a bypass circuit connected in parallel with the relay contact 9b and monitor circuit which is opened and closed by means of the door switch 3 and which is connected to a different polarity power source on the power supply side, as seen from the relay contact 9b, but on the load side, as seen from the door switch 4.
A series connected circuit consisting of a circuit breaker (fuse) 12 and limiting device (resistor) 11 is inserted in a common circuit forming part of the monitor circuit and part of the bypass circuit, and the relay contact is driven by the current supplied at least through the circuit breaker (fuse).
The appliance, therefore, has the effect of enabling the monitoring to be made at a relatively small current value, because in the event of a shorting failure of the aformentioned door switch 4, the shorting current is passed through the limiting device (resistor) 11, causing the circuit breaker (fuse) 12 to open, and moreover, provides protection against rush currents at normal operation time without causing any ill effects on the power supply such as opening of the breaker provided for common household circuits or an instantaneous fall of supply voltage, nor causing a fusion of the door switch 3.
FIG. 1 is an electric circuit diagram of a conventional high frequency heating appliance;
FIG. 2 is a side view of the principal portion of said device, showing how switches are attached;
FIG. 3 is an electric circuit diagram of another conventional high frequency heating appliance;
FIG. 4 is a circuit diagram of a high frequency heating appliance showing an embodiment of the present invention; and
FIG. 5 is a characteristic graph illustrating the operation of the circuit shown in FIG. 4.
FIG. 4 shows an electric circuit diagram of a high frequency heating appliance according to an embodiment of this invention. Placed in a monitor circuit formed by a door switch 3, which is an electric wave emission disabling device, are a resistor 11 and a fuse 12 in series with the door switch 3. The resistor 11 and fuse 12 are also components of a start circuit, i.e., a bypass circuit (composed of the resistor 11, fuse 12, resistor 15 and start switch 6) for a relay contact 9-b, completed when the start switch 6 is closed, and are connected in series with the start switch 6. The main circuit is completed by extending through a fuse 1, timer switch 2, relay contact 9-b, taps 8-a and 8-c of transformer 8, door switch 5, door switch 4, and back to the fuse 1. The relay coil 9-a, timer motor 13 and cooling fan motor 14 are supplied with a voltage produced between taps 8-a and 8-b of the transformer 8. However, at start-up, the voltage is supplied to said relay coil 9-a through resistor 11, fuse 12, resistor 15, and start switch 6. In addition, in this embodiment, it is assumed that the power source is 220 V, 50 Hz and that the rating of the parts is 8 A for the fuse 1, 3 A for the fuse 12 and 10 Ω, 20 W for the resistor 11.
The operation of the above arrangement will now be described with reference to FIG. 5.
FIG. 5 shows the relationships which occur when a 220 V source voltage is supplied across a circuit consisting of a resistor or a circuit having a fuse or a household circuit breaker connected in series with a large capacity resistance. The relationship between the resistance value and the time it takes for the resistor to open, after the voltage has been applied, due to its internal disconnection or the relationship between the resistance value and the time it takes for the fuse to blow, after the voltage has been applied, or the relationship between the resistance value of the resistor and the time it takes for the household circuit breaker to operate after the voltage has been applied, are shown. In this graph, the abscissa represents the resistance value of the resistor, while the ordinate gives the time it takes for the circuit to open under the conditions mentioned above. In particular, the curve A indicates the time it takes for a wire-wound resistor rated at 10 W to open due to its internal wire-disconnection, when the source voltage is supplied thereto. The curve B indicates the time it takes for a wire-wound resistor rated at 20 W to open due to its internal wire-disconnection, when the source voltage is supplied thereto. The curve C indicates the time it takes for a fuse rated at 3 A to blow, when the source voltage is supplied to a circuit having a resistor of a large capacity (i.e.--a resistor which will not sustain such a failure as wire-disconnection or short circuiting, etc.,) connected in series with this fuse. The curve D indicates the time it takes for a household circuit breaker of 10 AH type to open, when the source voltage is supplied to a circuit having a large capacity resistor connected in series with this household circuit breaker. Referring to FIG. 4, if the door switch 4 is at fault and shorted, when the door 18 (shown in FIG. 2) is opened and the timer switch is thereby closed, a closed circuit loop is formed of a series-connected circuit of a first fuse 1 shown in the upper portion of FIG. 4, time switch 2, resistor 11, fuse 12, door switch 3, door switch 4, and a second fuse 1 shown in the lower portion of FIG. 4, and a source voltage of 220 V is supplied thereto, causing the current to flow through the monitor circuit. Now assume that for the aforementioned resistor 11, a 10 Ω wire-wound resistor rated at 3 A is utilized; in addition, a household circuit breaker of 10 A type is connected to the household wiring from which the power is supplied to the appliance. FIG. 5 shows that the time it takes for the circuit to open, when the resistance value is 10 Ω, is shortest with the fuse rated at 3 A, as represented by the curve C. This means that when the aforementioned monitor circuit has operated, the fuse 12 will blow, while the resistor 11 will be unaffected and the household circuit breaker will remain closed (i.e.--not blown). Since the fuse 12 has blown, the start circuit composed of a series-connected circuit of a first fuse 1, timer switch 2, resistance 11, fuse 12, resistor 15, start switch 6, transformer 8, door switch 5, door switch 4, and a second fuse 1 will become inoperative, causing emission of microwaves to cease. The current which flows when the monitor circuit operates is held as low as 22 A due to the 10 Ω of the resistor 11. As hereabove described, according to this embodiment, any short-circuiting failure of the door switch 4 can be surely monitored without letting large currents flow (without causing the household circuit breaker to operate). Since the appliance also will become inoperative, when the resistor is in its wire-disconnection failure mode for whatever reason, safety is assured. Besides, in the manner as above-described, the appropriate resistance value range for the resistor values which is roughly higher than 6 Ω is practical, depending on the rating of the fuse 12, the rated power of the resistor 11 and the rating (essentially its operation characteristics) of the household circuit breaker. The resistor 15 may be eliminated by choosing appropriate parameters for the resistor 11 and the fuse 12.
On the other hand, at the time of normal start-up, a current smaller than the full load current flows to the transformer 8 through a bypass circuit comprising a resistor 11, fuse 12, resistor 15, and start switch 6, (the specifications for the aforementioned fuse 12 being so determined that the fuse 12 will not be effected by this current), thereby exciting the transformer 8 and simultaneously, supplying a voltage to the relay coil 9a through the aforementioned resistor 11 and fuse 12. At this time, with the current to the transformer 8 flowing through the resistor 11, the voltage supplied to the aforementioned relay-coil 9a will become lower than in normal operation time due to the voltage drop, resulting in delayed operation of the relay contact 9-b. Accordingly, the relay contact 9-b will be closed only after a lapse of ample time after the current to the aforementioned transformer 8 has begun to flow, making it possible to suppress any rush current flow.
As has been described so far, according to the present invention, in a high frequency heating appliance such as a microwave oven, the absence of a large current flowing from the power source when monitoring troubles with the door safety switch makes it possible to eliminate adverse effects, such as cutting-off of the power breaker and an instantaneous drop of the source voltage, on the power source, and there will be no danger of the monitor door switch being fused; thus a highly reliable, high frequency heating appliance can be provided. Furthermore, the invention uses a current-limiting resistor as a resistor for the start circuit, making it possible to avoid a rush current, a reduction of the life of the contacts of the switches due to the rush current, a degradation of the fuses, and malfunctions of the power source breakers.
