we toasted the little night lights.
A few small, inexpensive devices (LED night lights and some digital timers) use a transformer-less circuit to produce low-voltage DC from AC. This scheme works fine with the sine wave waveform that normally comes out of an AC outlet, but doesn't work at all with a "modified sine wave" AC waveform.
A couple other devices that are often reported to have problems with MSW power: Makita cordless tool battery chargers, and certain laser printers. Some fan motors also run slow and noisy on MSW power.
This thing about the,
DC/AC Inverters/gensets and genset Inverters and the Microwave has got me bummed out. With my sync type Champion, sometimes the lcd, power and clock display scramble. Now we hear many reports the MW's sound funny with some Inverters and cook slow, if at all.
From the above post, some noise (HUM) must come from the fan motors, or is it possibly something else also?
Still waiting for those in the know to contiune giving us more info'
