Three Different Waveforms Inverters
Inverter is a converter that converts direct current (DC) into current current (AC). It is composed of inverter bridge, control logic and filter circuit. It is widely used in air conditioning, home theater, power tools, computers, televisions, washing machines, range hoods, refrigerators, video recorders, fans, lighting, etc.

Inverters are mainly divided into three categories according to waveform, one is square wave inverter, one is modified sine ware inverter, and the other is pure sine wave inverter. Different output waveforms reflect different load capacity of the inverter.
Square Wave Inverter
The square wave inverter outputs square wave AC with poor quality, and its positive peak and negative peak are generated almost at the same time, which will damage the load and the inverter itself. Moreover, the load capacity of square wave inverter is poor, which is only about half of the rated power, and can not carry inductive load.
Modified Sine Ware Inverter
Compared with the square wave inverter, the modified sine ware inverter is slightly improved. Its positive peak and negative peak are no longer generated at the same time, but are buffered for a period of time. In fact, the modified sine ware inverter still belongs to the category of square wave inverter, because its waveform is still composed of broken lines like square wave, with poor continuity.
Pure Sine Wave Inverter
The pure sine wave inverter outputs high-quality AC, which can drive many kinds of loads, and has basically no damage to the load and the inverter itself. The pure sine wave inverter outputs the same or better sine wave AC as the power grid we use every day. There is no electromagnetic pollution in the power grid. In short, it has a wide application range, strong load capacity and excellent stability. It can provide the same AC as ordinary household. It can drive almost any kind of electrical appliances under the condition of meeting the power.
From the comparison of all aspects, we can see that the pure sine wave inverter is superior to the modified sine wave inverter and square wave inverter in all aspects. Although the cost of pure sine wave inverter is higher than that of square wave inverter and modified sine wave inverter, we suggest to choose pure sine wave inverter as far as possible.
