What are the different types of inverters?

There are two different types of power inverters: modified sine wave and true sine wave inverters.

The difference between the two types is how close the output power replicates standard AC mains power.

To gain a clearer understanding of the difference in output between mains power, modified sine wave and true sine wave inverters, check out the diagrams below.

A pure (or true) sine wave inverter is far more complex than a modified sine wave inverter and as a result is more expensive item to purchase. Modified sine wave power inverters are more common due to the fact that most electric appliances do not require a true sine wave power source. True sine wave inverters are reserved for use on medical equipment and other sensitive electrical applications, such as sound/audio equipment.

8Zed Power Inverters are available across a range of power output levels to power a range of appliances. Small power inverters, such as the 200 Watt & 300 Watt 8Zed Power Inverters, are designed for powering one small low power electrical appliance whereas larger units such as the 2400 Watt & 3000 Watt are suitable for powering multiple small appliances at the same time or just one larger appliance.
