OPERATING A MICROWAVE OVEN WITH YOUR POWER INVERTER
The power rating used with microwave ovens is the "cooking power" which means the power being
"delivered" to the food being cooked. The actual operating power rating is listed on the back of the
microwave. If the operating power cannot be found on the back of the microwave, check the owner's
manual or contact the manufacturer.
HOW THIS MODIFIED SINE WAVE POWER INVERTER WORKS
There are two stages in which this power inverter changes the 12 V DC (or battery) power into 120V AC
(household current).
STAGE 1: This inverter uses a DC to DC converter to increase the DC input voltage from the battery to
145 V DC.
STAGE 2: The inverter then converts the high voltage DC into 120 V AC (household current), using an advanced
MOSFET transistor in a full bridge configuration. This design provides this inverter with
the capability to start and run difficult reactive loads, while providing excellent overload capability. The
waveform that is generated by this conversion is a "modified sine wave" as shown in the diagram below.
BEST USE OF BATTERY POWER
Make sure any appliances are energy efficient and turned off after use. Use compact florescent lamps.
Wherever possible, charge with solar panels or wind generators. Do not allow lead acid batteries to remain
discharged for long periods of time; they lose capacity (amp-hours).
DISPOSAL / RECYCLING OF INVERTER
Electronic products are known to contain materials that are toxic if improperly disposed. Contact local
authorities for disposal and recycling information.
