The inverter converts 24V (nominal) dc voltage of the battery to 120V, 60 hz
Ac voltage.
The voltage conversion takes place in two stages. In the first stage, the 24V (nominal)
dc voltage of the battery is converted to high voltage dc (155V to 170V) using high
frequency switching and Pulse width Modulation (PwM) technique. In the second stage,
the high voltage dc is converted to 120V, 60 hz. modified sine-wave Ac.
note: 120V is the RMS value of the Ac voltage. the peak value of the Ac voltage will
be equal to the value of the above high voltage. See Fig. 8.1 below.
The output wave form of the inverter is a modified sine wave (see fig. 8.1 given below).
In a sine wave, the voltage rises and falls smoothly with a smoothly changing phase
angle and also changes its polarity instantly when it crosses 0 Volts. In a modified sine
wave, the voltage rises and falls abruptly, the phase angle also changes abruptly and it
sits at 0 Volts for some time before changing its polarity.

The modified sine-wave Ac produced by the inverter has an rMS (root Mean Square)
value of 120V. A general purpose Ac voltmeter is designed to accurately measure the
rMS value of a normal sine-wave and not a modified sine-wave. If this voltmeter is used
to read the Ac voltage of a modified sine-wave, it will indicate a lower value (96V to
104V). for accurately measuring the voltage of a modified sine wave, use a voltmeter
which is designed to measure “True rMS values” like fluke 87, fluke 8060A, etc.

Principle of Operation
SINE WAVE:
Smoothly increases to its peak
and smoothly decreases. It
crosses 0 Volt immediately.
Has RMS value of 120V
MODIFIED SINE WAVE:
Shoots straight up, levels off at
peak & drops straight down. It
sits at 0 Volt for some time.
Has RMS value of 120V.
