Inverter is a device that converts a DC voltage to an AC voltage. Most common is one that converts 12 volts DC to 120 or 240 VAC 50/60Hz. Basically there are three types of inverters-1.Square wave inverters, 2. Quasi square wave or modified square wave inverters, 3. True/pure sine wave inverters. 1.Square wave- these old fashioned inverters are the cheapest to make but the hardest to use. They just flip the voltage from plus to minus creating a square waveform. They are not very efficient because the square wave has a lot of power in higher harmonics that can not be used by many appliances. 2.Quasi square wave or modified square wave inverters- Quasi square wave or modified square wave actually mean the same thing. Modified square wave is the actual wave form. Quasi square wave is a marketing term used by many low cost inverter manufacturer.PROGRESSIVE DYNAMICS INC (POWER CONVERTERS
Inverter converts Direct current DC to Alternating current AC. Old obsolete inverter technology created square wave output. As stated by the name the wave form is square ...
... not sinus as required to have pure sine wave AC. Modified square wave has a step or dead space between the square waves. This reduces the distortion or harmonics that causes problems with electrical devices. 3.Pure Sine Wave Inverters- this is the best output wave form you can get out of an inverter and all appliances are able to run off it without interference or overheating. Some of its advantage are as follows- reduce audible and electrical noise in fans, fluorescent lights, audio amplifiers, TV, Games consoles, Fax and answering machines, prevents crashes in computer, unreadable print outs and glitches and noise in monitors. It can be efficiently electronically protected in overload, overvoltage, CONVERTERS undervoltage and over temperature condition. With a high quality inverter you will get- An auto-start system. An auto startallows an inverter to switch to a
low power consumption standby
state when nothing is connected
and turned on. This will save you a lot of manual switching and wasted power, Adjustability. An ability to adjust parameters such as auto-start and battery depth of discharge is also helpful. High quality heavy-duty power
transformer. You wont see this
unless you go poking around inside your box of electronic goodies but looking at the weight spec or picking up your quality inverter will demonstrate a heavy transformer inside. There is no substitute for quality. You will find only quality. We make high quality power inverters. You don't need a price tag here. One look will convince you of a surprise product.
