The square wave inverter can be harmful to any device that has an AC to DC power supply, which almost every device does, because the slope of the incoming waveform is higher than usual and the interception point of the ripple waveform with the incoming waveform when the diode turns on can can high current transients in the diode. The can be minimized somewhat by using a series inductor to filter the high current transients.

What is Quasi Square wave or Modified Square wave Inverters?
Quasi Square Wave or Modified Square Wave actually mean the same thing. Modified square wave is the actual wave form. Quasi Square Wave is a marketing term used by many low cost inverter manufactures. Inverters convert Direct Current DC to Alternating Current AC. Old obsolete inverter technology created square wave output. As stated by the name the wave form is square not sinus as required to have pure sine wave AC. Modified square wave has a step or dead space between the square waves. This reduces the distortion or harmonics that causes problems with electrical devices. Modified Square Wave inverters will work fine for pure resistive loads, like lamps or heaters. It will also work well with pure inductive loads, like universal motors in mixers and blenders. If these devices have electronic speed control this could be damaged. Devices that have transformers in their power supplies, Microwave Ovens, TVs, Computers etc. will run hotter and less efficient. These devices will not last as long as the would on pure sine wave inverters. For the money the modified square wave inverter will cost more in the long run by reduced efficiency and possible damage to appliances. I highly recommend that you use a pure wave inverter it will cost less by increased efficiency, problems and possible damage to your appliances.
How does A Frequency Converter circuit diagram look like?
Depends if you want to convert an RF signal to a different frequency, as all superheterodyne circuits do (most TVs and radios). That's called a frequency mixer. If you want to change a power line frequency to another, rectify it to DC, then chop with an inverter.
What are some practical uses of diodes?
Diodes are largely used for changing AC into DC. A half wave diode bridge will use two diodes for this purpose. A full wave bridge uses four diodes to accomplish this task.See related links below.
What is the use of clipper circuit?
Clipping circuit is a wave-shaping circuit, and is used to either remove or clip a portion of the applied wave in order to control the shape of the output waveform. One of the most basic clipping circuit is the half-wave rectifier. A half-wave rectifier clips either the negative half cycle or the positive half cycle of an alternating waveform, and allows to pass only one half cycle. Such a circuit has great applications in radars, digital computers and other electronic systems for removing unwanted portions of the input signal voltages above or below a specified level. Another application is in radio-receivers for communication circuits where noise pulses that rise well above the signal amplitude are clipped down to the desired level. Clipping circuits are also referred to as voltage limiters, amplitude selectors, or slicers.
Lcd tv sound no picture?
Most of the new TV's display a blue screen when there's no signal for it to lock on. Try unplugging it for about 5-10 minutes and see if that clears up the problem. Why? Because they have microprocessors in 'em (computer chips) and just as like with any other operating system, they can hang up or crash. This isn't an uncommon problem with today's TV sets. Unplugging it for awhile resets the microprocessor (in other words, it causes it to re-boot when you plugit in again).

Should I Buy a Modified or Pure Sine Wave Inverter?
Many people are unsure of the differences between a modified or pure sine wave inverter. Think of a modified sine wave inverter as a set of stairs. You will get power in blocks and there will be times when the output is sketchy. A pure sine wave inverter provides power much like the power provided by an electric company. Pure inverters provide smoother and more reliable power waves than a modified inverter. A modified inverter is less expensive and can run smaller items, such as a coffee maker or microwave. However, you may want to consider investing in a pure inverter if you want to run larger items, like a computer or television. Electronics that tend to draw a lot of power should always be run on a sine wave inverter for consistency and safety.
Can a modified sinewave inverter run a television and a demostic heating pump and and burner?
Work out the total watts of what you want to run on the inverter (rated amps x input voltage) and if the inverter is rated to that many watts it should run the equipment. Best way to find out how the modified wave affects their operation is to try it.
What size inverter generator would you need to run a 42 inch LCD tv?
It varies a little depending on your brand, but the back of the television should give you a fairly good indication for power consumption (about 221W for a Sharp 42" LCD TV). Then you'll have to check out to see if TV can handle a Modified Sine Wave (MSW) supply or if it needs a Pure Sine Wave (PSW) supply. You don't want to plug in your 42" TV and burn it out. The PSW inverter will be more expensive. Based on the above, if you were to get a 300W inverter with a surge capacity for temporary higher loads (switching on the back-lighting fluros will draw more than 221W for a short time), although better to get a 400W one and see how it goes, that way if it all goes well you can also plug in your DVD player (making sure that it can also handle a modified sine wave voltage if you went down that path). Then all you'll need to do is work out how long you want the inverter to work to buy enough battery capacity to keep you running. Also, an inverter inverts DC to AC, a generator usually burns something to generate AC directly. To my knowledge there aren't any inverter generators.
How many watts does a PS3 need to use a power inverter for a car ride?
I would not go below a 200 watt unit. Not that the system draws that much power, but these systems do not like being loaded down. Over rating the unit decreases the chances that this is a problem. Most of the smaller inverters are square wave systems or modified sine wave units. They are very hard on switching supplies and can cause computer damage.
Is sine wave used in analog or digital?
No and yes. Digital signals are usually square or pulse waves. By Fourier analysis, however, every periodic wave, even a square wave, is the summation of some series (often infinite) of sine waves.
What is a square wave inverter?
Inverters don't really put out nice, beautiful sine waves like you get out of an AC wall socket. Instead they chop DC current to APPROXIMATE the total current flow that a sine wave would carry at any instant in time. A "regular" inverter is like one you plug into a car's cigar lighter plug to run a small TV, or even the inverter in the Prius. The Prius inverter "chops" 500V DC to run the motors, providing "fake" AC. The chopper is either on or off. 500V or zero V. What a multi-level inverter does is have several voltage levels, 0, 250, or 500. So it can better approximate a sine wave than strictly an on/off, single level inverter. The more levels an inverter has, the more efficient it can be, less EMI/RFI generation, and so on. But it's also a LOT harder to build, more expensive, harder to control in software. Look for multi-level inverters to appear in electric vehicles in the next 5 years.
Will hooking up a power inverter to an electric scooter charger blow out the controller?
Well, that all depends on the voltage of both the inverter and the charger. As long as the output of the inverter is the same voltage as the input on the charger, you should be fine. Example: Normal scooter charger is 110 volts. Inverter is a 12V DC to 110V AC inverter. (the type used to watch a household TV while in a car) and your scooter charger normally plugs into a wall socket in your house, this will work fine. If the inverter you have is one that turns 110V AC to 12V DC, then you will have a problem.
