Is this a pure sine wave inverter?

Yes. But I have to tell you that I bought this inverter and after just two or three hours of use was damaged!

No its a modified sine wave. Do not purchase this inverter it has a 50 cycle 120v output. It will not work for many North American rated devices. The stated specifications are incorrect.

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.

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

You will need an invertor and a charge controller and make sure it is a pure sine wave inverter even if it's a cheap version just make sure it says pure sine wave.

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.

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

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.

The SMART1500LCDT has a PWM sine wave (Pulse-width modulation), not a pure sine wave. However, Tripp Lite carries many other 1500VA UPSs with a pure sine wave output. Also, please know that not all computers and electronics require a pure sine wave.

Mitch: It's not an inverter-quality "clean." Plug all your sensitive electronics into an APC/UPC battery-backup-surge-protector and you'll be good to go. Or go through a transfer switch to your building's main circuit panel. H--da has "clean" ones... ahem.... half-the-power and THREE-TIMES the price... Your choice, but these are good units. Good Luck!

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.

No. It is a good inverter though. Some inexpensive inverters will use a lot of energy even if they have no load on them. This one doesn't. Very important when running something that cycles on and off like a refrigerator.

Answer from Wikipedia: A power inverter device which produces a smooth sinusoidal AC waveform is referred to as a sine wave inverter. To more clearly distinguish from "modified sine wave" or other creative terminology, the phrase pure sine wave inverter is sometimes used. The terminology "modified sine wave" has come into use and refers to an output waveform that is a useful rough approximation of a sine wave for power translation purposes.

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.

No, it is just a basic 1000W inverter. I think you are mistaking an inverter for a Universal Power Supply (UPS) that has a small battery in it to keep your electronics running for a short time in the case of a power outage.

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.

Yes with a 400 watt inverter...pure sinwave inverter preferably...but nonetheless an inverter
