Inverter for RV hookup. Manufacturers reply.
Hi all. So I read contless online info about the whole bonding issue with Rv,s. I understand the RV is basically a sub panel. The bond is made when you hook up to the pedestal. OK. with a genera...

With respect to the AC output, there are two types of MSW inverters. One type has a true floating output and can be bonded if you wish. Higher end MSW inverters tend to be of this type. The other type of output, common in lower-end MSW inverters, was described in DrewE's earlier post. Both output conductors are hot with respect to chassis ground. What happens when you bond either output depends on whether the inverter has output short circuit protection or not. If it has short circuit protection it simply will stop working. If it doesn't have the protection, it will instantly go up in smoke. Verified (accidentally) by personal experience.
This is what it says... But I will test voltages tomorrow... I read that I will need a true RMS meter to read propervoltages...
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 Kriëger® 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.
