To power an
appliance, such as a microwave oven, with an
inverter,
the inverter must be able to supply more than the Wattage required
by the appliance (power consumption). There are many complex variables, including
wave type (true sine wave or modified sine wave or triangle wave or square wave), wire size
and wire length, as well as other factors, all of which may have an
effect on operation.
We cannot tell you if any of our appliances will or
will not work with any particular inverter - appliances are subject to
change by the manufacturer at any time, as are inverters.
However,
feedback tells us that if you have anything less than a True Sine Wave
Inverter, you will very likely get less than desirable results,
resulting in your time wasted and the appliance damaged. The bottom line is
that the other types of inverters take short cuts to achieve cost savings,
which ultimately makes them lack the drive that appliances require.
If you
intend to use an inverter, be certain your wires are of sufficient size.
DC power transmission requires much heavier wiring than AC power.
Refer to
the following Google search results for information as to what wire size
may be required - be sure to look specifically for information regarding
the voltage you are using, be it 12 volt DC or 24 volt DC - they have
different specifications. Also, realize that any specific inverter may
have different requirements, so refer to the manufacturer of your inverter
for guidelines for that particular inverter.
