What is the difference between a Converter and an Inverter?
Our converters change DC voltage from one level to another. As an example, 74 volts DC would be “converted” to 12 volts DC. Inverters on the other hand take 12 volts DC and “invert” it to 110 volts AC, which is the same voltage on any wall outlet in your house. By using an inverter, you can power AC powered devices. Inverters come in many shapes and sizes. There are basically 2 types, Modified Sine Wave and True Sine Wave. True Sine Wave devices perfectly emulate the power in your home wall outlets. They are more expensive than the Modified types. For most devices that convert AC back to DC such as cell phones and laptop computers, Modified Sine Wave devices will function perfectly. All of the inverters offered by Locoverter are of the Modified type.
