Since we're on the topic... I have a 750 Watt msw inverter. Any issues using with LCD flat screen?
There should not be any issues with a modern LCD TV and a MSW inverter. I know I have none.
The LCD TV uses a high frequency switching power supply (AC to DC) that does not depend upon the peak power component of a true AC sine wave.
Older TV sets with transformers along with microwave ovens that utilize the peak power (1.414 x rms) will not run as efficiently on a MSW inverter since they cannot reach the maximum voltage necessary for proper operation.
Same experience here ... I've got a 32" Samsung LCD TV and I've used it with shore power, generator power, and two different inverters and it always works fine!
Professor, it's been my observation that the microwave "works" with the inverter, but it definitely seems to have lower power output (takes longer to accomplish the same heating). It even sounds different running on the inverter. Could you explain a little further (in plain English! HAHA!) what's going on with the microwave?
Regards,
John
