A pure sine wave inverter is a device that converts direct current (DC) to alternating current (AC).
The pure sine wave is the same as the power supply in our daily household, and even better. This waveform is ideal for many appliances because their design is usually based on sine wave input. It can be used to run emergency power supplies, compressors, air conditioners, home theaters, electric grinders, power tools, sewing machines, computers, TVs, washing machines, range hoods, refrigerators, etc.
How does a Pure Sine Wave Inverter work ?
DC Input: The pure sine wave inverter first receives direct current from a battery or another DC source.
Oscillator Generates AC Signal: The inverter’s internal oscillator produces an AC signal, which is a sine waveform, similar to the AC power from the commercial grid.
Power Amplification: The generated low-voltage AC signal is amplified by the internal power amplifier to drive the load.
Conversion to High Voltage AC: Through a transformer, the low-voltage AC is converted into the commonly used high-voltage AC (e.g., 110V or 220V), to power various electrical devices.
How to tell if Inverter is Pure Sine Wave?
Using an Oscilloscope: An oscilloscope is a device that can be used to measure voltage waveforms. If a sine or cosine waveform is given, then the inverter is a pure sine wave. With this tool, you can clearly observe the voltage waveform output by the inverter, allowing you to easily determine whether it is a pure sine wave.
Output Frequency: The output frequency of a pure sine wave inverter is typically 60 hertz (Hz) or 50 Hz, which are the standard grid frequencies.
Price Comparison: The manufacturing cost of a pure sine wave inverter is higher, therefore the price is usually also higher. If you find the price of an inverter significantly below the market average, then it is very likely not of the pure sine wave type.
