INTRODUCTION
1.1 What is an Inverter?
Power inverter is an electronic device that converts DC (Direct Current) battery power to standard
AC (Alternating Current) power. DC is the power that is stored by a battery while AC is the
standard power needed to run electrical equipment. A Power Inverter can be used in places and
situations where AC power is not available.
1.2 Pure Sine Wave Inverter
If you want to run your equipment exactly to the manufacturer’s specifications,
choose a
pure sine wave
inverter. With pure sine wave, motors start easier and run
cooler. As well, some equipment
may only
operate properly with a pure sine wave
inverter, such as laser printers, variable speed motors and digital clocks/devices.
