The inverter says : sinewave inverter. What does that mean?
Sinewave has to do with AC power (for a more comprehensive explanation, see 12 ). The inverter we deliver with the campsystem takes the DC power from the batteries and transforms it into a “nice” sinewave AC , very much the way you receive it from the power company. This is good for modern technology devices, who count on this “nice” sinewave to work properly. There are other inverters on the market, called modified sine wave inverters. They also transform the DC electricity from the batteries to AC, but they do not do a very good job in creating the “nice” wave. They create a “sloppy” wave, with jumps and quirks. If you are powering a fan, or a regular light bulb, this will still work. Radios may hum, though, and TV’s might have irritating lines going through the picture. Since it is easier for an inverter to create a “sloppy” wave, they are cheaper than the inverters that create “nice” waves.
