can this power supply work with modified sine waveform from an inverter
231052
I haven't used with a inverter yet.I think it can work with an inverter . The power supply from an computer is switched and the computers can wotk with an inverter.

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.

A small inverter may do the trick but be sure that you have a return option if there is a problem. Most inverters produce square wave A/C (not sine wave) and may not work with some electronic devices. A 100 Watt unit may do but 200 Watts is better. Plan on spending $20 to $40 for one. Another option is a portable power supply with a built-in inverter (the kind with jumper cables).

Not this one, it has a 50 Hz output and may damage your TV. Consider something such as a Xantrex or other brand of pure sine wave inverter.

Maybe, if your printer doesn't need a sine wave inverter. I'd find out before you try it. Search back issues/ask the folks at "Home Power" magazine if you don't find an answer. Their editors are very helpful with questions like this.

I don't see why not. Just make sure the total load is within the limits if your inverter.

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

If the rating is different from what you need I might not chance it. Or if you do, get the invertor from someplace like walmart where you can return it if it doesn't work.

No it is a modified wave inverter. You may experience problems or may not. I am not an expert. I plan on powering my APC/UPS 750 backup supply with this inverter to run my computers. My backup is a pure sine wave inverter/power surge protector. I have used modified wave inverters for appliances and had no problems. Most experts do recommend pure sine wave for computers,TVs,etc. but I am not an expert. I do know pure sine wave inverters cost much more. Andy

The "pure sine wave" inverter can help running some things and eliminate a sound "Buzz" that can come from the cheaper "modified sine wave" inverters running radios & such. However, I'm not sure for a laptop that it will make that big a difference since the power is converted back to DC anyway (where it almost seems funny to take DC power, change it to AC just to go back to DC).

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

I use it with a 1600 watt inverter and it works great. Just that if you don't drive it very often, I would disconnect it.

I would have my doubts about connecting it to a 6 volt source but if I were you, I would check with the manufacturer or a specialist who understands the technical issues of these inverters.

I am not sure, but I think it is a modified sine wave. I thought a pure sine wave inverter would be more expensive.

Hi Gary,The Nature Power Solar Home and RV Kit with 40 Watt Solar Panel, 1800 Watt Inverter and 60 Amp Battery has a modified sine wave inverter. Please feel free to contact Earthtech Products if you have any additional questions.Best regards,Earthtech Products Customer Service

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.

yes, as long as the inverter can operate between 12 and 18 volts. Most larger panels have an output between 24 and 30 volts.

We do not recommend connecting the inverter directly to the charge controller; connect it to the battery instead. 8 AWG be sufficient.
