sorry missed your first response, you are right as long as the waveform gets rectified to dc anyways it should not be a problem.

Really? i haven't done any testing but the internet seems to say anything more complicated than a toaster will be ruined and only if the toaster has no clock or timer. May I ask what you are powering and have u noticed any ill effects? I am going to do some testing with phillips hue smart...

I have 2 apc 1500va ups's that unfortunately, are modified wave form. They were purchased before I had a understanding of how important the wave form was with different electronics. Rather than post them for resale I thought I would ask here for any ideas on what to do with them. Just looking...

Awesome I have been wanting to do something similar and perhaps someone could answer a question or two. If there is a 24/7 load on the inverter will the charge controller be able to still top off and keep the battery in a healthy state of charge or does the controller assume that there will be...

I would be ok with using lead acid batteries and if so seems that as long as the dc charger voltage was set correctly i would not need a bms?

powering a desktop pc that also serves as a nas, goal is constant and reliable power as i have already had equipment damaged from poor power grid. power would come from mains to feed a dc charger that will power a sine wave inverter and keep a battery bank topped off and in a mains power lost...

the iota converter will be ok to power a inverter non stop, as well as keep the battery bank topped off as long as appropriately sized? may i ask what the raspi is monitoring and what kind of commands?

Average 200 watts with peak being maybe 500watts at 120vac, I am trying to avoid any switching delay and want the extra isolation from voltage dips and peaks ruining my pc gear, so would like to run the gear off a sine wave inverter 24/7. Double conversion and or Online is what the UPS...

My plan is to homebrew a online double conversion ups for my computers as my electric grid here is spoty, located in eastern usa. A quality sine wave inverter and a battery bank is easy enough, my question comes from what to power the battery bank with as it will be also responsible for...
