How the Inverter Works
The Sima power inverter has two electronic sections. The first section converts 12 volts DC to
approximately 160 volts DC using modern high frequency conversion techniques that uses small
lightweight efficient transformers. The second section converts the 160 volts DC to 115 VAC using
high efficiency power MOSFET transistor devices. The inverters generate a modified sine wave that
works with almost every product on the market.
CAUTION:
Do not use the following products with an inverter with a modified sine
wave output.
Small battery operated devices like razors, flashlights and night lights that can be
plugged directly into an AC outlet to recharge
A few battery chargers for power tool battery packs that have warnings about high
voltage present on the battery terminals.
