Output Waveform

This unit’s output waveform is 
referred to as ”square wave“ 
or ”modified sine wave.“ It is 
a stepped waveform designed 
to have characteristics similar 
to the sine wave shape of 
utility power. A waveform 
of this nature is suitable for 
most  
AC loads (including linear  
and switching power supplies 
used in electronic equipment, 
transformers and motors).
