Advantages of sine wave output
The output wave-from is a sine-wave with very low harmonic distortion.
Inductive loads like Microwaves and Motors run faster, quieter and cooler. Reduces audible and
electrical noise in Fans, Fluorescent Lights, Audio amplifiers, TV, Fax and Answering machines,
prevents crashes in Computers & weird print outs glitches in Monitors.
Some examples of devices that may not work properly with square wave and may also get
damaged are given below:
Laser printers, photocopiers, magneto-optical hard drives. The built-in clocks in devices such as
clock radios, alarm clocks, coffee makers, bread-makers, VCR, microwave ovens etc may not
keep time correctly.
Output voltage control devices like dimmers ceiling fan / motor speed control may not work
properly (dimming / speed control may not function)
Sewing machines with speed / microprocessor control. Transformer-less capacitive input powered
devices like (i) Razors, flashlights, night-lights, smoke detectors etc (ii) Re-chargers for mobile
phones, laptops, battery packs used in hand power tools.
