MODIFIED SINE WAVE is a sales term used for a modified square wave
type of AC power which is not quite the same as power company electricity.
Modified wave inverters are lowest cost, slightly more efficient, and almost all
appliances work fine with them, though some may hum louder. But a few sewing
machine speed controls have difficulty on modified sine
wave. It can also damage photocopy machines, laser printers, and some cordless
tool rechargers. Recently we found the first TV that would not run on any
modified wave inverter. Battery chargers in some modified waveform inverters may
require the highest quality generator (about $3000 and up) to charge effectively,
or addition of a 10% voltage boost transformer.

MODIFIED WAVE
INVERTERS

DR and TR: Size 8-1/2
x 7-1/4 x 21"
Mounts to 16" studs on wall
Weight 35 to 45 lbs
XANTREX DR
and TR Series Inverters: 1500 watt, 2400 watt, or 3600 watt
continuous power plus double surge power for motor starting. Efficiency is 95% top, and 85% at full power. DR
and TR have an internal
thermostat controlled fan to cool only when needed. Certified to UL standard for
National Electric Code. TWO year factory warranty.
(Two identical DR or TR inverters can "stack" for split 120/240 volt output,
but consult us for advice first).
SEARCH MODE
automatic idle means that after last AC lamp or appliance
is shut off, DR automatically shuts down to use only 0.04 amp. TR series idles
at 0.17 to 0.35 amps. When you turn on
a light or appliance it starts up again. Start sensitivity is adjustable.
STANDBY BATTERY CHARGER with 30 amp generator transfer relay is included in
all DR and TR models. When you start the generator, or plug into utility power, standby
feature automatically charges the battery and switches generator or utility
power directly through for your use while batteries charge. When the generator
or grid power stops, it switches back to use inverter AC from battery power. The
DR's optional temperature probe
attaches to battery, to correct charging voltage for battery temperature.
TR inverter includes temperature probe.
1500 WATT continuous power inverter runs TV, household
lights, computers, stereo, vacuum cleaner and most small appliances all at the
same time. Large loads like washing machine, microwave oven, and circular saw
will run only one at a time, but with many small appliances running too.
2400 WATT continuous power rating. Like 1500, but runs 2 large
appliances at same time. Will run 1/3 and 1/2 horsepower 120 volt AC Grundfos
well pumps.
3600 WATT continuous power rating. Extra margin of power for large
loads and shop tools. Runs well pump and most washing machines together.
Backwoods Solar takes trade-ins of the smaller inverters in our
catalog toward purchase of a new inverter.
SHIPPING any DR series inverter in 48 states $35
Each inverter requires heavy
battery
cables with lug ends.
Note: this battery charger may deliver just 50% or less of rated battery
charge amps if used with a lower quality generator with deficient peak AC
voltage. If you experience this problem, an aftermarket
boost
transformer can restore your generator voltage for full rated charge amps.

SMALL
12 VOLT- MODIFIED WAVE INVERTERS
Low cost starter inverters. Backwoods
Solar takes these as trade-in later for larger inverter if needed. All these
feature manual on/Off switch, power LED, and low battery alarm at 10.7 volts.
Shuts down on overload. Fans run continuously, making some noise. Small
inverters can cause more radio and TV static than higher quality inverters.
