The application discloses a magnetron and a
microwave electric appliance. The magnetron is used in the
microwave electric appliance. The magnetron comprises a filament, a wire
diameter of the filament is greater than or equal to 0.6 mm and less than or equal to 0.67 mm, and the filament is configured to have a current greater than or equal to 8 A when the
microwave electric appliance works at an output power greater than or equal to 50 W. By setting the wire
diameter of the magnetron filament to be between 0.6 mm and 0.67 mm, the wire
diameter of the filament is increased compared with the wire diameter of the filament in the prior art, the resistance of the filament is reduced according to
Ohm's law without changing the length and resistivity of the filament, the current of the magnetron is increased when the
voltage remains unchanged, and therefore the stability of the
microwave oven in microwave output can be improved.
