Shore power, pure sine wave?

[Jason Worman]

Hi All,

Hope you all enjoyed a happy 4th of July. So I was wondering, when plugged into shore power, with the pass through function of the inverter, we are on regular pure sine power right? We are running quite a few electronics devices. Appreciate the photo gallery of the members, nice to put faces to all the folks that have so amazingly helpful.
Thanks as always

Jason,
If I understand your question correctly, when on shore power you are using the power from the park. The inverter is not converting 12v to AC at that time.

   Jason,
  Shore power is exactly the same power as your home. It is "pure sine wave" (60 cycles per second). Your inverter allows it to pass right thru it when it sees "shore power". When no shore power or generator power is present, and you turn on the inverter or it was in "stand by" in manufactures the pure sine wave 120 volt electricity from your 12 volt house batteries and sends it to its respective outlets. Hope this helps, Fred
