Pure sine wave inverter parts

The output of a pure sine wave inverter is equal to, or in many cases, better than the utility power used in your home. Virtually any electronic device will operate from a pure sine wave inverter. Motors run cooler, microwaves usually cook faster, and clocks keep better time just to name a few examples.

Today's inverters come in two basic output waveforms: modifi ed sine wave (which is actually a modifi ed square wave) and pure sine wave. Modifi ed sine wave inverters approximate a pure sine wave form and will run most appliances and electronics without any problems.

The MS Series is built on the same platform as our popular ME and RD Series modifi ed sine wave inverters – allowing for an easy upgrade from the original ME or RD Series installation. This standard platform also helps reduce cost by using standard parts/accessories across many models.

The MS Series inverters use an internal relay that automatically connects the AC neutral output terminal to the vehicle/boat's ground while inverting (Inverter mode) to provide the neutral-to-ground bond; as shown in Figure 2-20.

The MS2000 can be wired in a single in - single out confi guration, as well as a single in - dual out confi guration (-15B & -20B). The following steps are basic guidelines for installing and connecting the AC wiring into and out of the inverter. Refer to Table 2-4 to determine your AC wiring confi gurations before beginning.

Press and release the ON/OFF switch on the inverter to enable (turn on) the inverter. Disconnect the incoming AC power to the inverter. Verify the light bulb remains on and is now powered by the inverter. If the inverter passes all the steps, the inverter is ready for use.
