William,  you are correct that it is a little harder on the capacitor due to ripple current caused by the little jumps in waveform.  This is where the series inductance will help the filtering a bit too. The added L  will add that bit of needed impedance to complete the L-C  filter. The SW w

Friends: I had an experience with a more modern inverter system creating harmonic distortion on the output waveform during generator run. That issue was documented here . The inverter system is Outback Radian.

It was pointed out that I meant Ferro-resonant transformer. The transformer has a coil and a capacitor tuned to 60 hrzs. Sorry if I confused wrenches. On Sat, Sep 9, 2023 at 11:35 AM Jerry Shafer via RE-wrenches < re-wrenches@lists.re-wrenches.org> wrote: > I must agree with Ray, that inverter

I must agree with Ray, that inverter was never intended to run the slew of electronics we have now. There are gadgets out on the market that may do what you want but the reliability is in question. Does this site have a genny? Using the that may get you past the issue but not solving the problem.
