What do you mean when you say a Xantrex inverter produces modified sine wave output?
The AC output waveform for many Xantrex Technology Inc. inverters is called a quasi-sine wave or a modified sine wave (MSW). It is a stepped waveform that is designed to have characteristics similar to the sine wave shape of utility power. A waveform of this type is suitable for most AC loads, including linear and switching power supplies used in electronic equipment, transformers, and motors. The modified sine wave produced by the inverter is designed to have RMS (root mean square) voltage of 115 volts, the same as standard household power.
