Modified Sine Wave Inverters

Modified sine wave inverters on ATO.com feature high efficiency yet low price, ideal for power your devices on the road trips, vacations, work trips, camping and other outdoor activities where AC power is needed. The 300W to 3000W continuous power inverter can convert DC vehicle’s power (optional 12V/24V/48V) to AC power (optional 110V/120V/220V/230V/240V), rapidly charging your devices with AC outlet and USB port. With multiple security protections, the power inverters protect your portable devices from high voltage, low voltage, over temperature, over load and short circuit (reverse connect). So why not buy one now?

Why Use ATO Modified Sine Wave Inverter?

Modified sine wave inverter is relatively popular among users because it works well with most equipment even though the efficiency and power of the equipment might be reduced. If you need to use electrical appliances off the grid, then here are the reasons why you should use ATO modified sine wave inverter:

• Cost-Effective. The best feature of the ATO modified sine wave inverter is that they are less expensive than the pure sine wave inverters. The technology they use is more cost-effective to produce than most other inverters. Although modified sine wave inverters are incapable of generating a perfect AC replica, they can still provide a more affordable option that suits most mobile power applications.
• Saves Money. As the modified sine wave inverters don't cost you much more money than the pure sine wave inverters, you can save a lot of money. It also helps to minimize your expenses while you purchase them.
• Perfect for Equipment that Runs on Non-Sinusoidal Current. If the appliance or equipment you want to run with the inverter can work on the non-sinusoidal current that contains different sine waves of different frequencies, then using the ATO modified sine wave inverter is the best option to go with.

2 Basic Sine Waves:

There are two basic sine waves: pure sine wave and modified sine wave.

• Pure Sine Wave. It also known as: Sine, PSW, Natural, and True Wave, it is the same waveform that comes out of your wall outlet in your house. The upside to this waveform is it is the cleanest and most efficient; It offers less cycling (in other words, it is less stressful to electronics), and is very stable. The down side to Pure sine wave inverters is that they cost substantially more than a modified sine inverter.
• Modified Sine Wave. It also known as: Square, manufactured, and MSW, these inverters are less-expensive to produce and can function with most appliances. Utilizing a different waveform than the pure sine wave, the modified sine wave inverter allows average consumers an affordable alternative for DC to AC power conversion. Due to the square waveform, some appliances are not compatible with modified sine wave inverters.

Where is Car Inverter Most Useful?

Anyone who spends a lot of time on the road can benefit from some type of inverter. Car inverters are especially useful on long road trips, for camping, people who travel for business, over-the-road truck drivers, and other similar applications. Some devices, like cellular phones and laptops, can be used with 12v attachments that plug directly into a cigarette lighter or accessory jacks. However, any electronic device that requires an AC input calls for an inverter. Some devices that you can run off a car inverter include: televisions, DVD and player, game systems, catalytic heaters, cooking equipment, power tools.
