MSW Interter

[freewill2008]

Curt - I see this is the old Trace inverter line which was bought up by Xantrex.
Its a "modified sine wave" inverter, so the output has some square wave
characteristics.

We use a different Xantrex modified square wave inverter - the Freedom 1500
(another line bought by Xantrex). It makes the microwave sound funny and the
toaster buzzes a bit but everything works fine. For the TV, DVD, computer, and
other fussy electonics we use a Xantrex 400 true sine wave inverter which works
out great.

Lots of times a modified square wave inverter will run electronics fine, but it
depends on the particular device being powered so its not always predictable.

Be sure the DC wiring can handle around 300 amps. If the new inverter replaces
an existing inverter of the same size, the existing cables should be fine. For a
round trip of 25 feet to the batteries, 2/0 cable would be about right.
