DC battery and someone taps you on the shoulder and asks you to produce AC instead. How would you do it? If all the current you produce flows out in one direction, what about adding a simple switch to your output lead? Switching your current on and off, very rapidly, would give pulses of direct current—which would do at least half the job. To make proper AC, you'd need a switch that allowed you to reverse the current completely and do it about 50‐60 times every second. Visualize yourself as a human battery swapping your contacts back and forth over 3000 times a minute. That's some neat fingerwork you'd need! Simple animation illustrating the concept of a DC to AC power inverter.
Power inverters have a wide variety of designs, capabilities, and features. Understanding their differences can be as simple as dividing them into two groups based on their cost.As far as the sine wave converters go, I wouldn't concern myself with it unless maybe you have some expensive music equipment like Robert mentioned. Most things that you will need an inverter for in a truck will operate just fine on the regular inverters. To get a sine wave inverter you will be spending a lot more money. I was a licensed master electrician in my former life, and I too looked into the sine wave inverters, but realized that there was not sufficient reason to go with them in the truck.
There are two basic kinds of inverters:pure sine wave inverter and modified sine wave inverter. pure sine wave is what comes out of the wall. Modified sine wave is basically a square wave with the corners smoothed a little. Most stores only carry modified sine inverters because they are a lot cheaper. Operation of an inverter is, for the most part, automatic, although most require some settings to be programmed. When shore &/or generator power is lost, the inverter senses this and provides its own power to maintain an uninterupted power source. When shore power is restored or the generator started, the inverter will again sense this and, usually after a short delay, will automatically switch shore or generator power to the RV.Battery charging can also occur automatically, although it's usually possible to override this manually. | |
