Fine when using normal microwave mode
First check the plug point
SOURCE: Tripping of circuit breaker
Check what other appliances are on your circuit. What goes off when the breaker is tripped. You may need to relocate the microwave to a different circuit. Try to stay away from the refrigerator or AC circuits.
SOURCE: Sharp Covection Oven/Microwave stops after 1min on any setting
This 59-second stop failure is due to a problem in one of the damper-related components, most likely the switch, but it may also be the motor or the damper door.
The damper is a door inside that opens or closes depending on cooking mode. If the controller thinks that the door is not in the right position, it will shut down the cook cycle.
See the attached sample photo.

SOURCE: Microwave causes GFCI on another circuit to trip
You may have a shorted High voltage component. Possibly a recttifier,aka, diode. This should only be replaced by an experienced repairman as an extremely high voltage shock potential exists.
SOURCE: microwave trips circuit breaker when plugged in
The circuit is probably a 20Amp circuit (see the number stamped on the circuit breaker switch). Most likely, it is the same circuit as the refrigerator, crock pot, window A/C unit, etc....
Also, if you are using an extension cord or a power strip or a surge protector. Those may not have a high enough power rating.
One other possibility (not likely) is that the circuit breaker is a 15Amp and the microwave is 1500 watts.
What else is cut off when the circuit breaker is tripped?
Solution is to use a different outlet for the microwave, or turn off any other applicance in the same circuit (except the refrigerator, of course).
Hope this helps!

Chances are you have a shorted "monitor" interlock switch, or its mount is broken.
