PURE SINE WAVE
The output voltage of a sine-wave inverter has a sine wave -form like the sine wave-form of the mains/utility voltage. In a sine wave, the voltage rises and falls smoothly with a smoothly changing phase angle and also changes its polarity instantly when it crosses O Volts. The unit provides Pure Sine Wave output and can be compatible with AC electrical appliance that works with Sinusoidal waveform. Appliances that use an AC motor are going to work to full capacity on a pure sine wave, such as an electrical fan. Appliances like refrigerators, microwaves, and compressors that use AC motors and some delicate equipment will be better use with our pure sine wave inverter.
