How Power Inverters Work
Power inverters convert low voltage DC (direct current) power to 110/120-volt
AC (alternating current) household power. This conversion process thereby
allows you to use household products, power tools, and other electronic
products away from normal AC power sources (standard 110/120V wall outlets).
Depending on the model and its rated capacity, inverters can draw power either
from standard 12-volt automobile and marine batteries or from portable high
power 12-volt power sources.
The waveform that is generated by this conversion is a “modified sine wave”.
The modified sine wave produced by our inverters has a root square mean
(RMS) voltage of 110/120 volts, which is the same as standard household power.
The majority of AC voltmeters are calibrated for RMS voltage under the
assumption that the measured waveform will be a pure sine wave. Therefore,
these meters will not read the RMS modified sine wave voltage correctly.
They will read about 20 to 30 volts too low. To accurately measure the output
voltage of the inverter, use a true RMS reading voltmeter such as a Fluke 87,
Fluke 8060A, Beckman 4410, Triplett 4200 or any voltmeter identified as a “true
RMS”.
