Is this inverter a pure sine wave inverter?

I'm not sure, I would call there help center. I can tell you that it works great, I used this inverter several times over four hours to power buff my boat with no problems. Hope this helped

It is my understanding that it is NOT a pure sine wave. I do run a HDTV and Blu Ray player with it and have had no issues

Don't no but I have had it for two years and gives good power output good inverter .

Depends on what you use for it. I use mine for a printer, laptop, and the occasional powertool. It holds up quite fine.

Negative, this is a modified wave inverter. They are designed to emulate pure sine waves, but the pure sine inverter from power bright is a bit more expensive and can be found on amazon. Just search pure sine power bright.

I am a retired electrical engineer so I can tell you it is not necessary to scope the output of this inverter to tell you the output looks like crap as compared to a pure sign wave inverter. It is a modified square wave output that simulates a sign wave as close as possible. The only advantage of this inverter is it is cheap and has the ability to start inductive loads rather well because it can supply the necessary current needed to achieve motor starting. I use this inverter to run saws, drills, and a small air unit in my shop. I have to pure sign wave inverters that run my home because many electronic appliances require a pure sign wave. You can look up modified sign wave on the internet to see the difference in a modified sign wave and a pure sign wave. Hope this helps in your decision making.

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.

This is a modified sine inverter, as such there is a distortion which you can hear when you use this with some devices such as box fans.

No, this inverter has an automatic fail safe to prevent operation at over about 15 volts. A 12 volt system is the only voltage system this inverter will operate on.

You should definitely look in the product manual for your inverter (probably available online). The manufacturer of my 300-watt pure sine wave inverter specifies a 40 amp fuse.

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.

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).

Modified sine wave. This inverter will not perform as advertised. Very weak.

I am not sure but I would not buy this inverter or any other inverter the make. I bought this item, it lasted less than two months. The cost of returning the unit was more than it was worth. The quality is junk. I had someone look at it and the soldered connections look like a 2 year old assembled this unit. The screws that were used to assemble it were half stripped and loose. Complete piece of JUNK!

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

I used a 'scope to fine adjust the frequency and seem to recall it was close to a pure sine wave, quite clean power. It powers all our electronic equipment without a problem. I adjusted the frequency using the peaks of the waves to stop our UPS's from complaining

No, it is not, and this inverter will not put out more than 100 volts under the best of conditions, it is JUNK.

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.

You can use this if your solar inverter has a pure sine wave, if it doesnt the energy you are measuring wont give you an exactly number. You can search in you tube the diference of pure sine wave and modified sine wave ti see why is the difference.If the accuracy is not important this meter its fine.

Hello, I purchaced to replace a cheape one that I had. Yes, It makes alot of noise, and bleeds over to FM radio's plugged in to it. I do not think it is a true full sine wave, I think it is a modified, wish is why it does that. Other than that, it works great. i lvoe it a great deal. Bob....

Great! now I need to decide on the proper inverter to use. The 1000 watt pure sine may be over-kill for just a TV/ DVD player and a couple 60 watt bulbs. Would a smaller watt inverter make more sense?
