2.3 ADVAntAGeS oF PURe Sine WAVe inVeRteRS
• The output waveform is a Sine Wave with very low harmonic distortion and cleaner
power like Utility / Grid supplied electricity.
• Inductive loads like microwaves, motors, transformers etc. run faster, quieter
and cooler.
• More suitable for powering fluorescent lighting fixtures containing Power factor
Improvement Capacitors and single phase motors containing Start and run Capacitors
• Reduces audible and electrical noise in fans, fluorescent lights, audio amplifiers, TV,
fax and answering machines, etc.
• Does not contribute to the possibility of crashes in computers, weird print outs and
glitches in monitors.

• Laser printers, photocopiers, and magneto-optical hard drives.
• Built-in clocks in devices such as clock radios, alarm clocks, coffee makers, bread-mak-
ers, 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) Some re-chargers for battery packs used in hand power
tools. These may get damaged. Please check with the manufacturer of these types of
devices for suitability.
• Devices that use radio frequency signals carried by the AC distribution wiring.
• Some new furnaces with microprocessor control / oil burner primary controls.
• High intensity discharge (HID) lamps like Metal Halide Lamps. These may get dam-
aged. Please check with the manufacturer of these types of devices for suitability.
• Some fluorescent lamps / light fixtures that have Power factor Correction Capacitors.
The inverter may shut down indicating overload.
• Induction Cooktops
