power source by running an extension cord from the inverter to the television set.

4.Coil the television power cord and the input cables running from the 12 volt power source to the inverter.

5.Attach a "Ferrite Data Line Filter" to the television power cord. More than one filter may be required. These filters are available at most electronic supply stores.

Note:

Some inexpensive audio systems may produce a slight "buzzing" sound when operated with the inverter. The only solution to this problem is to use a sound system with better power supply filtering.

Operating a Microwave oven with Your Power Inverter

The power rating used with microwave ovens is the "cooking power" which means the power being "delivered" to the food being cooked. The actual operating power rating is listed on the back of the microwave. If the operating power cannot be found on the back of the microwave, check the owner's manual or contact the manufacturer.

How This Modified Sine Wave Power Inverter Works

There are two stages in which this power inverter changes the 12 volt DC (or battery) power into 110v AC (household current).

STAGE 1: This inverter uses a DC to DC converter to increase the DC input voltage from the battery to 145 volts DC.

STAGE 2: The inverter then converts the high voltage DC into 110v AC (household current), using advanced MOSFET transistor in a full bridge configuration. This design provides this Energizer® inverter with the capability to start and run difficult reactive loads, while providing excellent overload capability. The waveform that is generated by this conversion is a "modified sine wave" as shown in the diagram below.
