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 pr

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 s

Aloha All, I have a client with a old Trace 4024 on a APT center. Everything has worked great for over 20 years. He purchased a new washing machine from Sears that does not want to work. The voltage at the outlet is 117 vac and the Sears guy says that is the issue. When the system is running on th
