A power supply for a magnetron is adapted to be powered from a regular power line and comprises an inverter means operable to provide an AC voltage of relatively high frequency. This relatively high-frequency AC voltage is applied to a step-up transformer, which transformer exhibits a relatively high leakage inductance between its input and output windings. A capacitor is connected across this transformer's output winding and effectively resonates with the internal inductance thereof. A rectifier and filter means is connected in parallel circuit with this capacitor, and provides an output of current-limited substantially constant-magnitude DC voltage for application to the magnetron. As a result, the magnetron is efficiently powered with a nearly constant DC voltage, as contrasted with the pulsed DC voltage normally used for powering magnetrons.
