Howdy all,
I have a customer who purchased a new microwave oven with an inverter in it. He got it home, plugged it in, and guess what? It did not work. Of course he has a mod. sine wave inverter. He called me to investigate the situation. We took the oven back and them it did not work. They traded his for the same model, and it did not work. We took it over to a neighbor who has a sine wave inverter, and it worked! My conlusion: Mod. sine wave inverter won't run the new inverter powered microwaves. Anyone else had this problem? Might be a good lesson when designing systems. I have been trying hard to push only sine wave inverters for home type systems. For cabins and such maybe the mod. is still okay.
SUNcerely,
Frank Fowler
