Pop i dont want to argue anymore, your 100 percent right about ac rectified to dc, and true dc sources have almost no wave, could you please give me a book or a link that gives that definition of a sine wave.
I never stated that pic was a true sine wave or a pure sine wave its a dc waveform pictured what are we arguing i never stated there isnt pure sine waves just wanted to prove that dc waveforms do exist
Thats the exact picture i tried to upload you can see the waveform right there it gives you all the standard waveforms, what ealse would you call it when viewing it on a scope other then a dc sinewave or dc waveform
Also keep in mind anyone running those ac meters aformentioned if you live in areas where power loss during the winter is an issue running those off generator may not be a good idea, unless it is a generator with a built in line conditioner, same goes for solar battery backups, make sure you...
No problem, looking into metering our diy projects here is a little rule of thumb
an inverter is not a true sine wavetype (a so-called "modified sine wave" inverter), a simple voltmeter or multimeter will not read accurately. ... In order to measure a non-sine wave or a distorted waveform, a...
Im sorry danny i thought you wanted to measure the dc side, those should work perfect for ac as the wall source is a pure sine wave, only houses running off solar or generators need to use sine wave inverters for there ac source
I cant see anywhere on any meanwell data sheets if they put out a pure sine wave or a modified one, but that will still only affect ac circuits being rectified to dc, so not sure if the other way around you have midified dc sine wave now you got me thinking, might have to break out the...
Yeah that meter would melt as the resistor pack and coil would not be able to handle the diverted load, that second meter should do the trick, all meters do draw a tiny load but you should be able to get your watts equal by matching voltage and current draw
Thought my hlg order got shipped back turns out my backwoods hickass postoffice didnt tell me i had a package to big for the po box, thank you @robincnn for getting back to my wife right away you and @Stephenj37826 are the best
