No, what is being marketed is a "Modified Square Wave" inverter.
The ignorant can be forgiven. The shyster wants you to believe that you are buying a better inverter than it really is. Buyer beware. Alan Adrian wrote: No doubt you are correct.... But a "modified sine wave" inverter is a way for someone to tell you that you are buying a device which doesn't put out a proper sine wave... rather one which consists of an approximate sinusoidal curve made up from square bits... So it's not a modified sine wave, but rather a near sine wave with lots of edges... Inferior in every way (but price) to a real sine wave inverter... Al... "George Ghio" wrote in message ... wrote: There are 2 main invertor options, sine or modified sine, which is IRL rectangular wave. IIRC, iron fl ballasts and motors can overheat on MSW, so all your apps ideally want sine. However MSW is much cheaper, and there are workarounds. Fl lights can be run at just slightly reduced power, or heatsinks added to the ballasts, etc. Electronic ballast lights would run happily on 150v dc. Motor driven tools would be fine as is unless youre running them to where they already get seriously hot, ie heavy use. There are ways round it if it proves to be an issue. Small point. Why would anybody modify a sine wave? When people try to sell a "Modified Sine wave" inverter they are either ignorant or shysters. |

Hi Nick
MSW is a shysters sales pitch which misrepresents the product. Sort of like someone selling bilge pumps as suitable for continuous duty. wrote: Alan Adrian wrote: No doubt you are correct....

It's not a modified sine wave, it's a modified square wave to approximate a sine wave, and in many cases, sufficiently close enough. We run our whole house on a MSW unit. Trace's DR series inverters were MSW. I have nothing against the modified sq. wave inverters. Misrepresenting a product is lying. When people try to sell a "Modified Sine wave" inverter they are either ignorant or shysters. nope, just normal sales folk. unfortunately, it became an industry term. Nope, shysters or ignorant. The ignorant don't know any better and the shyster is a lier and a thief. No point doing business with either of them. "Modified Sq. Wave" is just that. Sine Wave is not stepped. Both types of inverter have uses and can provide good service. But a lie is a lie. Nick |

To paraphrase a classic George Carlin routine- "I'll tell you what 'modified sine wave' means-- no f*cking sine waves". I would label the boxes with a nice star shaped sticker "powerful harmonic sine waves". ha, youre a natural NT |

Sounds like a good idea considering the following Ghioism.... "Modified Sq. Wave" is just that. Sine Wave is not stepped. sigh You might correct your error by listing some popular "sine" wave inverters, and the number of steps in their "not stepped" waveforms. Wayne |

Yes Mildred there really are true sine wave inverters that are not just a sq. wave with many, many steps. Do your own ****ing search. Wayne |

But at least you've admitted in weasel-speak that some snorf "sine" wave inverters *do* have stepped waveforms. Would you say that they're manufactured and sold by liars? Do your own ****ing search. I take that to mean that you won't be providing any examples of sine wave inverters with stepless waveforms. What a shocker. Wayne |

Wayne although I find myself in agreement with george (very scary, especially after his recent voltage driven LED faux pas) that the moniker "Modified Sine Wave" is a misleading term, and should be changed to "Modified Square Wave" in order to more accurately reflect the technology, you seemed to have gotten under his skin a bit.
