Enerdrive ePower 300w / 500w Inverter
Caution on Rechargable devices with ePOWER modified sine
wave inverters.
The ePOWER 300 & 500 inverters output a modified sine
wave AC power. This particular waveform is not as clean as
conventional household AC power and has been know to
possibly damage rechargable battery packs, or devices with
inbuilt batteries that plug directly into an AC source with
frequent use on modified sine wave.
There is typically no risk associated with any battery packs charged
from a DC powerpack (i.e. A small device that plugs into the AC
source, and converts power down to DC low voltage).
Possible Interference.
The modified sine wave may also create a small level of interference
on devices such as AC radio’s and small televisions. Although no
damage will occur to these devices, if the image is undesirable you
should consider using a pure sine wave inverter to remove any issues.
AC Voltage Irregularities.
Sometimes you may have the need to check AC voltage using a
multimeter. Whenever you test an ePOWER 300 or 500w inverter
using a conventional multimeter, the reading will probably show
around 180vac ouptut. THERE IS NO FAULT WITH THE INVERTER,
and in fact the problem exists with the multimeter. Standard
multimeters do not read TRUE RMS, which results in a false reading
on the display. Please do not be concerned should this occur.
