Modified Sine Wave Inverter - Introduction and Waveforms

[@ricksampson6780]

Your backdrop of Test Equipment has always impressed me!

[@KissAnalog]

Thank you! A little eye candy:)

[@andymouse]

Wow ! Eddie's gonna build an entire 'Solar System' you're the main man....cheers!!!

[@KissAnalog]

LOL Thanks so much!

[@ronaldd4012]

Thanks!

[@KissAnalog]

You bet! And thank you for commenting;)

[@KissAnalog]

Also, thank you for your generosity!!

HI Eddie, thanks for the info. 😃

[@KissAnalog]

I appreciate you!

First time viewer, instant sub. Very cool channel. Learned a lot. Excited to hit the archives and learn more.

[@KissAnalog]

Thanks so much! It is strange that KZbin doesn't show me the badge next to your name to show me that you are a sub. I would have responded sooner;)

@@KissAnalog It's me; I've got my settings set to private. Sorry bout that. The channel is great, you've got some awesome toys as well. Been trying to get my 2 young kids into the electronics. We all started KISS U on Monday. Getting ready for V-A-R lesson on Thursday. It's great. You got a way about your presentation style, my kids don't zone out because it's not sterile and dogmatic. Plus, it's pretty dang cool to be taught electronics by Metallica front man James Hetfield, lol XD See you around for sure Teach.

Thanks! I have a technical question on my stereo system Adcom and Anthem equipment. I am using hospital/medical grade triplite power,filter witn s medical grade isolation transformer are any these necessary? Also, I installed a Siemens FS 140 whole house, surge protection, with a delta, EMIRFI filter at the Load center , appreciate your feedback. Thank you.

[@KissAnalog]

Thank you for your generosity! I think the whole house surge protection was a great idea. This also could be a big deal if there were an EMP event. As well as the EMI/RFI filter will help keep your power clean. Regarding the Triplite, and isolation transformer - it is probably not needed, but will help if there's any power glitches. If you had ground hum, it could help, but if you don't hear any than you probably don't need it.

Thanks Eddie. They were around in the early 90's. That's some ad guy's interpretation - it's really a modified square wave. You might want to look at it with an inductive load, that's where inverters show their flaws and merits.

[@KissAnalog]

Thanks for the great feedback! You are right - the inductive loads would not be happy;) .

You may get a half cup coffee from that

[@KissAnalog]

LOL thank you!

[@hoobsgroove]

Can you easily convert it through an LCL filter to purify it waveform? That would be good to see!!

[@KissAnalog]

Thanks for the great question! Usually the LC vilter does a better job, but they still look pretty bad and still have a lot of noise.

Could you use a Class D audio amp with a 50/60hz sine signal as a power inverter? I was setting up a subwoofer on a car last year, which was amplified by a strapped pair of 3500W class d amps. The output was a clean 120v sine. Could that be used as a backup emergency power station?

[@KissAnalog]

Fantastic question! Thanks for asking! I actually made my first inverter with a Texas Instruments Class D Amplifier chip. It was only 100 Watts, but it worked great! I just had to put in a 60 Hz signal to drive it to 60 Hz and it worked great. An inverter and Class D amp are essentially the same. I'm so happy that someone brought this up;)

What is Top Top value Most problem is when user connect a old type with a bulky transformer the primary voltage never come to 320 Top and in VS or US 160

[@KissAnalog]

Thank you! Yes, these are not good for many things - dirty power;)

[@TWforage]

All I need is a GaN solar inverter

[@KissAnalog]

Yes that would do it;)

[@johnshaw359]

Don't use this, pay as little as you can to avoid and get a sine wave type.

[@KissAnalog]

Yes - I agree. Thank you!
