You can put metal in a microwave, but you had better know what you are doing. Under certain circumstances microwaves can generate heat in metal. Mostly it is when they can find a ring to run around, or gaps they can jump. This includes when they can jump from metal objects to metal in the oven.
It's best not to do it.

It could be for that fact that it's electrical, and when two things that conduct electricity are put together, one would short out the other. Thus it may cause an electrical fire, in your wires. Hope that helps:)
