Hey guys,
Bit of a different request here. I have a remote home that runs off wind and solar power. The power is collected into deep cell batteries where it is fed to Power Inverters that convert the power from 24vdc to 120vac. It then feeds the home with approximately 5000 watts of power. It's fantastic for lights and pretty much everything else, including even the water pump and small electric heaters at times. The problem is that the output of these specific inverters is a modified square wave signal. For sensitive electronics such as washing machines, refrigerators and computers, this modified square wave can damage components, and has in the past. My question is, does anything exist commercially that I can purchase that I can plug into the wall, and that will convert this modified square wave to a pure sine wave signal (I do not want to purchase new inverters, but there are commercially available pure sine wave inverters out there, this I know). Or perhaps if nothing is available, is there something I can build with bridge rectifiers that will convert this signal correctly?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks!
Sig
