The operation of a microwave sterilizer is disturbed by various factors. These are primarily deviations in the quality indicators of the electric power generated by the primary power source. To design a built-in power source, information is needed on the degree of influence of disturbing effects on the processes in the electromagnetic sterilizer.

By modeling circuits in the MATLAB environment with the Simulink extension package, data were obtained on the influence of the quality indicators of the electric power of the primary power source on the operating mode of the microwave sterilizer.

The results obtained can be used in the development of microwave sterilizers capable of effectively performing microwave decontamination of pathogenic microflora during sterilization of medical instruments in a wide range of conditions.
