New Energy Vehicle Sine Wave Inverter

What is a pure sine inverter?

The primary job of an inverter is to take DC power and modulate it to imitate the AC power of your home. Most inverters are “modified sine,” meaning their alternating power is “choppy” instead of smooth. Pure sine inverters use additional (and expensive) circuitry to better replicate what you get from the wall plug at home.

How does an inverter work?

Your house uses AC power, which is less simple: power actually flows back and forth in a smooth wave. That’s why it’s called alternating current. The primary job of an inverter is to take DC power and modulate it to imitate the AC power of your home. Most inverters are “modified sine,” meaning their alternating power is “choppy” instead of smooth.

Is a sine wave a good option for a laptop?

But there’s a benefit: 300 watts of pure sine power, plus smart USB ports. If your laptop isn’t happy charging on a modified sine wave, or if you like the idea of plugging in a travel cooler, this option works.

Can a solar inverter power an RV?

Solar power, like battery power, is plain DC and requires an inverter to be useful. Renology allows you to hook its 100-watt panels in series to the inverter, so you can reduce your load on the RV’s engine and battery. In some circumstances, you can disconnect it entirely. This can be a literal lifesaver, and we’re all about it.
