This has been covered before, but as a general reminder, microwave power ratings are usually the cooking power rating. The amount of electrical power they require is roughly 50% more than that.

As an example, a typical 1,000 watt microwave requires around 1,500 watts of electric power. I have a tiny van-size 700-watt microwave and it pulls just over 1,000 watts of electricity.
