Is the PW2300-12 a true pure sine wave or modified sine wave inverter?

This is a modified sine wave inverter. I have used it with tv, laptops and for charging phones and camera batteries, and using a nutri-bullet blender without a problem.

This inverter is a modified sine wave unit. I will tell you this: I live in a motorhome with a small 400 watt system and use the Pw2300 and my main solar system is 600 watts and I use the pw2300. In other words buy it, for the price and the usage you will get out of it it will pay you back 10 fold.. Also the wireless remote is better than false teeth works amazing.. Hope this helps..

Modified. But it hasn't given me an issues with my laptop or iPhone. Hope this helps.

I severely doubt it, because the sine waves would NOT be in synch and that would play havoc with any electronic devices attached, changing the RMS voltage outputs. It would create very dirty power. If you want to do this, you should contact the manufacturer to see if there is some modification they can recommend. Otherwise, just split the outputs to different circuits, but be very careful to NOT share a common neutral, and provide a separate ground as well.

No. You want a Grid Tie Inverter, search for that keyword. This only converts DC to PURE SINE A/C current. Pure Sine is the ONLY way to power sensitive electrnics like microwaves, TV, computer, etc.. Pretty much everything made with technology developed after the 70's. A/C motors can run on modified but they run cleaner and cooler on Pure Sine. Pure Sine is what you get from the mains. Modified sine is 1970's tech and good for things from that era, unless you like to buy whatever you plug in again and again and again and simply LOVE the sound of a constant buzz from whatever your using. IMO, Pure Sine or don't bother. But you want Grid Tie Plug and Play. I have them and they last and work well as long as the power is on, this one however is for when the power is OFF and you have batteries but need to run A/C appliances.

If you use a modified sine inverter with an led tv you will not like your picture. You should use a pure sine. Also your tv will last longer on a pure sine. Joe

Great! now I need to decide on the proper inverter to use. The 1000 watt pure sine may be over-kill for just a TV/ DVD player and a couple 60 watt bulbs. Would a smaller watt inverter make more sense?

Yes, it outputs 60 Hz but DOES NOT output a sine wave. Small inverters of this type put out what is sometimes called "dirty" 60Hz power, which is perfectly fine for most (modern) digital electronics, incandescent lights, and SOME motors. It is not good for other kinds of motors some fluorescent lights, and many analog audio systems (you'll hear a hum). I'm afraid I don't know which motors are OK and which are not.

I will have to get back to you on that question. I assume your inverter output is modified sine wave?Anyway i do belive you can charge the unit with dc power using a male male cord to go into your cigarette lighter. look up the manual online, it will say for sure.

The unit has high-temperature safety shutdown, low-voltage shutoff and overload protection. From the manual: The inverter produces a "modified sine wave." The modified sine wave is suitable for most AC powered appliances and personal electronic devices.

Pure sine wave will always be the default recommendation, especially for electronics. However there is generally a big cost hit with pure sine wave compared to simulated sine wave. For a unit like a power supply which is quite robust in design, when talking about the quality of power input, a simulated sine wave UPS would be acceptable to use. It is certainly much better than exposing the PSU & your PC to power brownouts.

Pure sine wave is the best way to go. I've had modified sine before and while they do work for most things, induction motors and microwaves don't put out full power and are noisier. I bought a 2800 watt Magnum Energy pure sine wave and have never looked back.

Negative, this is a modified wave inverter. They are designed to emulate pure sine waves, but the pure sine inverter from power bright is a bit more expensive and can be found on amazon. Just search pure sine power bright.

yes the 3500 Watt w Pure Sine Wave portable inverter is very quite. we use it during hunting season at the camp it works well. love it.

Hello, hhis pure sine wave inverter have input 12 VDC, output 110 VAC, the automatic switch we have on 110VAC side if electricity fail, power inverter energize my house illumination

No this is a modified sine wave inverter----we have had trouble with this inverter being able to work with one type of cordless tool charger-----so we purchased two different brands of pure sine wave inverters to see if this would in fact eliminate our problem-----it did not so we went back to this inverter and have not had any other issues with it not running any tools with the exception of the one----and that was solved by putting 12 V vehicle chargers in all the service trucks-----we run over 140 of these and they have been bullet proof---1 failure in 140 plus units in service

I only used this inverter for a very short time and it worked well. Did not get a chance to verify if it was pure sine wave as I upgraded to a 24 volts inverter within short time

I have this since Jan 2012 and I work fixing UPS, I have all the equipment to test how pure the sine wave is and let me tell you! I have put on my fluke dual input at the same time utility and this and I would say the output of this UPS is actually more clean then the actual utility I would take pictures if anyone wants too see both in comparison.

I do not know but I looked at mine and there are no mounting points anywhere on it. You can find the manual at: http://www.sunforceproducts.com/prodinfo/manuals/11260PureSineInverter.pdf and can call them at 1 888-478-6435. I did not see anything about mounting it at all. I haven't permanently mounted mine but if I did I would probably mount it on a shelf to keep it horizontal. The dimensions of the 2500 watt inverter are 13.96 x 6.69 x 9.19 inches (35.5 x 17 x 23.3cm). It's a good price for a 2500 watt pure sine wave inverter if it meets your needs. I hope this helps.
