The inverter then converts the 125 volts DC into 110 volts AC (household current), using advanced MOSFET transistors
in a full bridge configuration.
A "modified sine wave" waveform is generated by this conversion.
200 Watt Modified Sine Wave Inverter
The modified sine wave inverter has a root mean square (RMS) voltage of 110 volts, but most AC voltmeters are
calibrated to measure pure sine waves for their RMS voltage. This will result in these meters giving a measurement 20 to
30 volts too low when measuring the inverter output. In order to measure the inverter output voltage more accurately, use
a true RMS reading voltmeter.
For Your Safety: Precautions to keep in mind before and while using your Power Inverter:
* Only connect the power inverter to a 12 volt battery.
* Do not modify the power cables in any way.
Check these connections frequently to make sure they remain tight.
* Make sure the power consumption of the appliance or equipment you want to operate is compatible with the capacity of
the inverter, i.e. does not exceed 200 watts.
* If you are using the power inverter to operate battery chargers, keep a check on the temperature of the battery charger
for about 10 minutes. If the battery charger becomes abnormally warm, disconnect it from the inverter immediately.
* Use only 25 amp spade type fuses.
* If you are powering the inverter with an automobile or marine battery, start the engine every 30 to 60 minutes and let it
run for about 10 minutes to recharge the battery.
* If you hear a continuous alarm or automatic shut down:
i. Turn the inverter OFF immediately.
ii. Do not restart the inverter until the source of the problem has been identified and corrected.
•
Disconnect the inverter when not in use, in order to avoid battery drain.
