Pure Sine Wave VS Modified Wave Inverters
Pure sine wave Inverters: The power supplied by the national grid is 230V 50Hz AC (or alternating current). The current effectively 'switch direction' 50 times every second. There is no positive or negative like there is with batteries. The waveform is smooth and gradual conforming to what is called a 'sine wave'. Pure Sine Wave inverters such as our 8ZED range one of are the most efficient and highest quality inverters available. Pure Sine Wave inverters produce little distortion and are able to run even the most sensitive electronic equipment.
Modified Wave Inverters: Designed to roughly emulate a sine wave waveform, modified wave inverters are cheaper than their pure sine wave cousins. They mimic the sine wave shape in large steps. Most simple appliances like power tools, light bulbs, heater elements and electric motors will run with a modified wave inverter...although they will get hotter and use more power. As these inverters don't produce clean sine wave power, they are not recommended for use with electronic equipment like TVs, stereos and computers. Clocks and other timing devices (like digital washing machines) can run either too fast or too slow.
