Yes, Jackery can power your microwave oven and provide reliable and safe energy during power outages or blackouts. Whether there is an unforeseen weather condition in your area, a power outage, or whether you live off-grid, the Jackery Solar Generators can supply consistent electricity to power microwaves with home solar generators and power stations.
This guide covers everything you want to know about charging your microwave oven with Jackery. It provides information about microwave oven electricity consumption and how to select the right Jackery product for your charging needs.
How Much Electricity Does Microwave Oven Use?
An electric microwave oven uses around 800W of electricity. Electric consumption also depends largely on the type of oven you use, as well as the brand and model. The wattage consumption of a microwave oven can range anywhere between 800 and 1000 watts per hour of usage.
Can Jackery Power Microwave Oven?
Since a microwave oven's wattage consumption can vary depending on several factors, the right size of the Jackery Portable Power Station can be considered only after determining the wattage consumption.
Step 1: Check The Starting And Rated Wattage Of Microwave Oven
First, check your microwave oven for starting and rated wattage. You can check the user manual if this information is not written on the device. If you still cannot find it written anywhere, consider multiplying the voltage the device uses with ampere, and you will get the wattage.
Step 2: Check the Started And Rated Output Wattage Of The Power Station
Before you select the right size of the Jackery Portable Power Station, make sure the battery capacity is greater than the microwave oven. Also, check the rated and surge output wattage of the power station. To know the rated output watts of Jackery products, you can recognize the number of each model. For example, the rated output watts of Jackery Solar Generator 500 would be 500 watts. However, this does not apply to the “Plus” series of Jackery.
Let’s say you want to run a microwave oven (800W) with Jackery Explorer 2000 Plus Portable Power Station, then you can calculate the working hours using the formula given below:
Working Hours = Jackery Explorer 2000 Plus Portable Power Station in Wh × 0.85 / Operating Wattage of Microwave Oven.
Working Hours = 2042.8Wh × 0.85 / 800W = 2.17 hours.
Here's a table showing the running time of different Jackery Portable Power Stations when they charge a microwave oven (800W).
Note: The operating wattage is considered 800W. The running time indicated in the table is just for your reference, and the actual time might differ.
