How This Modified Sine Wave Power Inverter Works
There are two stages in which this power inverter changes the 12 volt
DC (or battery) power into 110v AC (household current).
STAGE 1: This inverter uses a DC to DC converter to increase the DC
input voltage from the battery to 145 volts DC.
STAGE 2: The inverter then converts the high voltage DC into 110v AC
(household current), using advanced MOSFET transistor in a full bridge
®
configuration. This design provides this Kriëger
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 / California Proposition 65
Electronic products are known to contain materials that are toxic if
improperly disposed. Contact local authorities for disposal and recycling
information.
This inverter is certified to be "lead free." Transformers in this inverter
contain nickel composites. Nickel is a known neuro-toxin if ingested.
