Is this a pure sine wave inverter?

The only way to get a pure sine wave is to have a generator or plug into your house

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.

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.

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.

If you're batteries have enough power and the solar system can keep them charged, bearing in mind you'll be taking power from the batteries at night when they....the batteries are not being charged the answer is yes. The difference is in using a pure sine wave inverter instead of a modified sine wave inverter. With regard to the output per plug, [on or from the inverter] if needed you can have a small distribution box made up to take two outputs in and one output out thereby doubling your power available but drawing more power off your batteries.

Glad to help! The charge controller is Go Power's GP-PWM-30 30 Amp pulse width modulated digital unit. The inverter is Go Power's GP-SW3000-12 3000 Watt 12 Volt Pure Sine Wave Inverter.Regards,Lisa, forExplore Electric

No this is a modified sine wave inverter----we have had trouble with this inverter being able to work with one type of cordless tool charger-----so we purchased two different brands of pure sine wave inverters to see if this would in fact eliminate our problem-----it did not so we went back to this inverter and have not had any other issues with it not running any tools with the exception of the one----and that was solved by putting 12 V vehicle chargers in all the service trucks-----we run over 140 of these and they have been bullet proof---1 failure in 140 plus units in service

I am not sure I understand your question. This unit is an inverter and produces a modified sine wave output at the stated voltage range. It normally uses commercial sine wave AC current to drive the inverter, but if you want to use use non commercial power like a portable generator or newer portable inverter, there is no reason it would not work but I have never used it in the arrangement. Some generators and inverters have 12 volt outputs anyway but not at 20-30 or 50 amp rating like this unit can supply. If you plan to use an inverter to drive this inverter, you can expect some additional noise in some sensitive devices like a nearby AM radio. I gape this answers your question.

Given the trickle style of a "charger," a modified sine wave inverter should be able at meet the load, yes.

I have this inverter, and my understanding is that it is pure sine wave. I use it to power my entire vacation house on a Caribbean island with no troubles, save for the fact that the vacuum cannot run at the same time as anything else.

Hi Edward,This is the right way to use the inverter>>> http://www.amazon.com/review/R3RTW2NTIXFOON/Hope this helpsRegards,Angela CS Email Representative

I do not know but I looked at mine and there are no mounting points anywhere on it. You can find the manual at: http://www.sunforceproducts.com/prodinfo/manuals/11260PureSineInverter.pdf and can call them at 1 888-478-6435. I did not see anything about mounting it at all. I haven't permanently mounted mine but if I did I would probably mount it on a shelf to keep it horizontal. The dimensions of the 2500 watt inverter are 13.96 x 6.69 x 9.19 inches (35.5 x 17 x 23.3cm). It's a good price for a 2500 watt pure sine wave inverter if it meets your needs. I hope this helps.

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.

No, buy a solar charger, and fine a true or pure sine wave power inverter that suits your needs

Hi Glen ,This is not a pure sine inverter.Please read the additional facts below.The inverter have three Power Index1.Marked power2.Peak Power3.Long time working powerNormal Output Power means the Peak power.Peak power is the moment Maximum power when we start the electric equipment.this peak power might be 1.5-3 timesDifferent electric equipment have different peak power. We need to know the rated power (Average Power) before we choose the Electric power supply ( like the inverter or battery). The power supply is 1.5-2 times. Electric equipment power,special electric equipment will need 3 times of Electric Power.General Average Power is counted according to 72% of peak power.This accounting methods usually is for small power electric equipment.

It's a pure sine wave output, so there's no difference in the output. the second back up wouldn't know the difference.

The unit has high-temperature safety shutdown, low-voltage shutoff and overload protection. From the manual: The inverter produces a "modified sine wave." The modified sine wave is suitable for most AC powered appliances and personal electronic devices.
