What type of inverter does this use. Is it pure sine or modified sine?

It's a modified sine wave inverter rated at 1350 watt continuous 1500 watt surge. Note however, that the battery inside the case is not sufficiently sized to run the inverter at it's full rated capacity for more than 10 or so minutes if that long.

If you use a modified sine inverter with an led tv you will not like your picture. You should use a pure sine. Also your tv will last longer on a pure sine.Joe

this inverter is a under powered inverter. go with a aims inverter!! I picked up a pure sine wave aims inverter and have been loving it.

I purchased one about a year ago. I returned it because when I connected my iPad to it, the iPad went crazy. I was using the stock power supply that came with it. I tested this several times before I returned it. To answer your question, it is probably NOT a pure sine wave inverter. I ended up getting a Xantrex Prowatt pure sine wave inverter.

Hello, hhis pure sine wave inverter have input 12 VDC, output 110 VAC, the automatic switch we have on 110VAC side if electricity fail, power inverter energize my house illumination

Pure sine wave will always be the default recommendation, especially for electronics. However there is generally a big cost hit with pure sine wave compared to simulated sine wave. For a unit like a power supply which is quite robust in design, when talking about the quality of power input, a simulated sine wave UPS would be acceptable to use. It is certainly much better than exposing the PSU & your PC to power brownouts.

I can't even get mine to produce. The original inverter drained the batteries. What kind of inverter are you using?

If it dos'nt say Pure Sine its probably not. However the pure sine is marketed as safe for delicate electronics like tv and computer. And you pay for that. Nevertheless, lately manufaturers are aware most buyers want it to be safe. My opinion, if its says it is safe for tv and such, than it probably is. You can also use a surge protector.Another way to go is buy a smaller pure sine at less price and put it next to tv or computer. You won't have to turn on the big inverter, saving battery power. The bigger the inverter,the more battery power it will use to convert.

I don't know if you can use this with an inverter. I do know that this has been removed from counter and is now sitting in the basement because it just didn't work well.

yes the 3500 Watt w Pure Sine Wave portable inverter is very quite. we use it during hunting season at the camp it works well. love it.

When I purchased mine I got the answer to that in the literature that it came with as a modified Sine wave. However unless you are using this for medical physics the difference between the two is minimal. I hope that helps. Mine has worked fine for running a small refrigerator and TV while we camp.

As far as I know it isn't a pure sine wave inverter, but I've charged our laptop with no trouble. It's been great for the price.

Excellent description.The one thing I'd add is to ensure the 12v. to 120 v. inverter provides a *PURE SINE WAVE* output which is identical (or often cleaner) than a normal utility power grid. Using a 120 volt "Modified Sine Wave" power source can damage and/or weaken electronics, motors, battery chargers, batteries, etc. Or if nothing else, cause them to be less efficient & effective. "Modified Sine Wave" outputs are fine for incandescent light bulbs, but I wouldn't risk damaging my electronics or battery chargers just by saving a few bucks on a lower-end inverter.That said, I'd personally spend a bit extra for a Pure Sine Wave inverter to run electronics, chargers, and/or laptops off of.

it is a pure sine inverter. The Flicker is caused by the deadtime at the zero crossing, adding a small resistive 100 watt load smooth's the output to where the flicker goes away.

To answer your question, I just walked down to the basement and plugged my 48V Genssi power supply powering a DC fan into an APC BackUPS 500, pulled the input plug on the UPS (which causes the UPS to output a modified sine wave) and it had no effect on the operation of the power supply. I ran the fan from low speed to high, then plugged the UPS back into the wall to switch it back a pure sine, but I could detect no effect on the power supply. I hope that helps.

120 volt. Not sure about an inverter. It would have to have enough amperage and be a full sine wave inverter is my guess since everything has electronics in them now and gets odd when inverting.

This inverter is a modified sine wave unit. I will tell you this: I live in a motorhome with a small 400 watt system and use the Pw2300 and my main solar system is 600 watts and I use the pw2300. In other words buy it, for the price and the usage you will get out of it it will pay you back 10 fold.. Also the wireless remote is better than false teeth works amazing.. Hope this helps..
