As I rummaged around over the weekend, I realized that my earlier delving into inverters resulted in the the acquisition of 2 separate 1000W modified sine-wave inverters. It seems now the general consensus is to use these on a very limited class of powered items.....resistance heaters, incandescent bulbs, single-speed motors, etc. Just wondering if these should be scrapped or recycled somehow as pure sine wave inverters now seem less expensive than the were 20 years ago....? Thoughts?.....do others still use these modified sine wave units for dedicated jobs? Thanks!
I feel your pain - I have 2 or 3 12 Vdc 1000 watt modified sine wave inverters from about 15 years ago, and I'd be willing to use one for testing with resistive loads, but in the past year, I've only bought 24 or 48 Vdc pure sine wave inverters, and I really don't want to start investing in 12 Vdc inverters again.
