Let's review the basics before deciding on the right inverter for your needs. An inverter is a replacement for grid power. If the power supply fails, you want to use the same power source to power your equipment. A pure sine wave inverter provides the same power as the grid.

What is a pure sine wave inverter?

A pure sine wave inverter produces voltage in the form of a sine wave. The power company also provides a sine wave output. A pure sine wave converter is required to connect to the grid. Pure sine wave inverters are often required for sensitive equipment such as new TVs and CFL bulbs, and appliances with AC motors (microwave ovens or refrigerators).

Compared to other inverters, pure sine wave converters produce more power with less interference, and are quieter, better, and more reliable.

How do I determine if I must use a pure sine wave inverter?

This is a big question. If cost is not an issue, a pure sine wave inverter is the way to go. This takes away any guesswork. These are examples of equipment that requires a pure sine wave inverter to operate, and examples of equipment that could be damaged if a modified sine wave inverter is used.

1. All medical equipment
2. Devices with variable temperature control, such as heating pads or induction cooktops
3. Laser printers
4. Flash lamps
5. Digital clocks and timers
6. Pellet fuel stoves
7. Variable speed tools

Once a more fancy and expensive option for many consumers, pure sine wave inverters are becoming more affordable as the cost of pure sine wave inverters continues to drop. If you want the peace of mind of knowing that your appliances and equipment will operate safely at peak efficiency, we recommend purchasing a pure sine wave inverter.
