What is the Difference Between True Sine Wave and Pure Sine Wave?
You may have noticed some inverters advertised as true sine wave or pure sine wave and wonder, “what is the difference?”
Nothing.
True and pure sine wave inverters are essentially the same thing. Regardless of the term used to describe the inverter, true or pure pertains to the smooth and curved peaks and trenches of the actual sine wave’s form. They produce quiet and refined power.
True or pure sine wave inverters are not to be mistaken with modified sine wave inverters, which normally produce unrefined sine wave output that, when illustrated, look like stair steps, square patterns with small gaps in between the waves.
If you are looking for true or pure sine wave inverters, ADM has several models available, which you can browse at the bottom of this article.
What does an Inverter do?
Inverters convert direct current (DC) to alternating current (AC) resembling that of the grid’s or mains’ power supply, with minimised heat generation that results in reduced energy loss during the conversion process.
Inverters are commonly found in households with solar panel systems set up, and caravans and boats with battery installations.
Benefits of Using True Sine Wave Inverters
True sine wave inverters generate a clear and smooth waveform that will work on all kinds of appliances and electronics including sensitive equipment, such as medical devices, laptops, and televisions.
If your inverter has an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) function, then aside from power conversion, it can also provide continuous power during outages and protect your electronics from power surges.
