What is different between pure sine wave inverter and modified sine wave inverter? Pure sine wave vs modified sine wave.

Pure sine wave vs modified sine wave.

Power inverter is one core component in a solar power system. It can convert the power from the solar panel to the solar battery, which converts DC to AC power. When buying power inverter, we will find there are two main types: pure sine wave and modified sine wave. Most people will have doubts regarding the difference between pure sine wave vs modified sine wave. We will discuss about it in details.

There are two main differences between a pure and modified sine wave inverter: cost and efficiency.

Modified sine wave vs pure

Modified sine wave vs pure. Modified sine wave inverter are economic and common choices. Usually the modified sine wave inverter has fewer components which make it cheaper than pure sine wave inverter. Our classic modified sine wave models are CAR and MS series. If you need LED display, we also have MSD model.

Modified vs pure sine wave inverter

Modified vs pure sine wave inverter. Pure sine wave inverter is more expensive to produce, but the waveform is nearly to the mains power. It has low harmonic distortion. But modified sine wave is easier to have interference when connecting loads such as audio devices. Also the pure sine wave inverter has higher efficiency than modified sine wave. Pure sine wave inverter has stronger impact capacity. It is an ideal choice for home appliances and devices, such as microwave, TV, fridge and other appliances with AC motors. These appliances with AC motor are called inductive loads. Using pure sine wave to power inductive loads will not harm the electronics and can protect the appliances have longer service life.

Difference between sine wave and square wave inverter.

Difference between sine wave and square wave inverter. What is a square wave inverter? Square wave inverters are the simplest and cheapest inverters. They will power simple tools but no more. Usually you can not find this type in the inverter shop.

If you are not sure to choose a pure sine wave inverter or modified sine wave inverter, or you have more questions regarding the types of inverters and benefits for your application, you can contact us for support. Choosing the suitable type of inverter in the first step of creating off-grid system. We also have many other useful tips for installation of solar system, such as choosing the suitable power inverter size to be compatible to different battery system and how to connect the batteries.
