Abstract
For several years, the inverter generates AC 100V output voltage by obtaining DC12V from the cigarette lighter socket of the vehicle is beginning to spread in the market, and now the AC100V inverter system can be purchase not only in the car shop but also built in the vehicle by the car maker and car dealer. The AC100V inverter for vehicle is very useful in order to charge the battery of the laptop personal computer, cellar phone and PDA (Personal Digital Assistant) in outdoor and also very convenient for children to play TV game in the vehicle for long distance drive. However, almost all the type of the inverter for vehicle which can be buy in market or car dealer can not generate not pure sine AC100V wave but rectangle AC100V wave called “Modified Sine Wave”. This rectangle alternative voltage has possibility to give some problem to the electric appliances connected to the inverter. In this paper, the properties of various rectangle wave inverters were investigated experimentally, and the subject of the inverter was also clarified.
