[RE-wrenches] Chevy Bolt

Hey Bob,

It may not be that a modified square wave is causing the problem but rather your MSW. At 20 years old, I bet you have ringing on the waveform of your inverter (voltage overshoot during switching). Look at it with a scope. I have seen 10-12 year old inverters hitting 300+ volts PP on the spikes. Some equipment will see that voltage and prevent operation and other equipment will hum along (pun intended) blissfully. 

We have had a couple of problems with magnum inverters working with specific loads. It would be best to test one before committing to it.

I have a customer with a 20-year-old modified sine wave inverter that has been no issue at all until recently when he arrived from New York City with his Chevy bolt

Obviously the Bolt will not tolerate the modified sine wave and we’re discussing upgrading and we were wondering if the magnum inverter charger would work in this situation? 

Thought that I would check with the knowledge base !

Thanks
