A pure sine wave is a continuous wave that describes a smooth repetitive oscillation. Pure sine wave inverter is one of the power inverters. Conventional AC power is produced by rotating machines and is mathematically described as a sine wave. Pure sine wave inverters produce power which equals or better than the power in home.
How to reset the pure sine wave inverter?
Connections & Reset: Try to reset the inverter. Disconnect the battery, wait 30 minutes, and then reconnect. This will reboot the inverter’s processor and clear any possible error states. Reconnect Battery and Boot Unit.
How long can you leave an inverter on?
Small Inverters: Most automobile and marine batteries will provide an ample power supply for 30 to 60 minutes even when the engine is off. Actual time may vary depending on the age and condition of the battery, and the power demand being placed on it by the equipment being operated by the inverter.
Why is my inverter NOT on when connected to shore power?
If voltage drops to a low enough point (due to loose connection or other issue) it would be reasonable that the inverter is sensing “insufficient” voltage and is kicking in to power your appliance.
Can a generator be plugged into shore power?
There is no reason for it to be running when plugged into shore power, the two circuits powered from the inverter will get power directly from a feed coming from the Main AC panel. The same goes for when you generator is running.
How to safely install an inverter for AC power?
- Installing a dedicated AC circuit for your 2kW pure sine wave inverter.
- Using a relay to automatically disconnect your battery charger
- Wiring your battery charger to run only on shore power.
What to do when shore power goes off?
To fix the situation, we flip the pole breakers off and back on (maybe don’t need to do this but we do), press the three switches on the side of the magnum inverter and turn the inverter off and back on. Everything comes back to normal, meaning that we have full shore power with no inverting.

Can a generator be turned off while on shore power?
Really depends on how you have programmed it. On many, the inverter on/ off switch ONLY controls turning on the inverter function when not on shore power or generator.
