Re: [RE-wrenches] New Washer - Old Inverter

Lou, You are getting great advice from the list. Yesterday's sinewave inverter is not today's sinewave inverter. The washers are improved, too, likely using an ECM motor today. If the washer is the only holdout, have you considered a dedicated high quality, high surge, 1800 watt inverter for just

Hi gang. Andrew's mail server is having troubles connecting to ours, so I am posting this on his behalf. Hi Folks, Can anyone suggest some kind of a deck flashing that can be used for mounting on a comp. roof without going into the rafters?  How about plastic flashing.  We install a butch of

117 vac is perfect output. If the washing machine is having issues, it would be with the stepped waveform, not the voltage. The old Trace had a pretty choppy "pure sine wave". I had washers not run on the Trace SWs, and we were able to put a capacitor on the inverter output that fixed the

Lou, This was a not-uncommon issue that would occasionally arise with specific washers and the SW series. It often came up with Y2K installations. It has nothing to do with voltage /per se/, and the inverter is working as it should. The SW is true modified-sinewave (with something like 28-42

The old SW's used to be called "sinewave" but they weren't really full sinewave outputs. The outputs had steps or "shorts' in them and the amount of steps depended on what the battery voltage on the input was. Generally these steps ranged between 32 and 60 steps, if I remember correctly... the
