	Grid-Tie and Multifunctional Power Inverters - Solar Electric Supply
		If the inverter is expected to run induction motors, like the ones found in automatic washers, dryers, dishwashers and large power tools, it must be designed to surge, or deliver power many times its rating for short periods of time while these motors start.
		The inverter will synchronize to the generator and allow loads to be powered that are too large for either the generator or inverter to supply alone.
		Interference can be minimized by locating the inverter very close to the batteries, twisting together the cables that connect the inverter to the battery, running AC lines separate from other wiring (such as telephone wires) and locating the inverter away from appliances that are susceptible to interference.

	Inverter Selection
		Inverters must be sized for the maximum peak load, and for the typical continuous load.
		Inverters come in size ratings all the way from 50 watts up to 50,000 watts, although units larger than 11,000 watts are very seldom used in household or other PV systems.
		The major advantage of a sine wave inverter is that all of the equipment which is sold on the market is designed for a sine wave.

	Inverter FAQ - DonRowe.com - Frequently Asked Questions about Power Inverters
		The small inverters (400 watts and under) come with a cigarette lighter adapter, and may be plugged into your car's lighter socket (although you will not be able to draw more than 150 to 180 watts from the cigarette lighter socket).
		When the inverter will be operating appliances with high continuous load ratings for extended periods, it is not advisable to power the inverter with the same battery used to power your car or truck.
		The inverter should not be installed in the engine compartment, due to possible water/oil/acid contamination, and excessive heat under the hood, as well as potential danger from gasoline fumes and the spark that an inverter can occasionally produce.

	Inverter Information
		Stand-Alone inverters can be used to convert DC from a battery to AC to run electronic equipment, motors, appliances, etc. Synchronous Inverters (sometimes called utility-interactive) can be used to convert the DC output of a photovoItaic module, a wind generator or a fuel cell to AC power to be sold to the utility grid.
		If the inverter is expected to run induction motors, like the ones found in automatic washers, dryers, dishwashers and large power tools, it must be designed with surge capability to deliver power many times its rating for short periods of time while these motors start.
		Interference can be minimized by locating the inverter very close to the batteries, twisting together the cables that connect the inverter to the battery and locating the inverter away from appliances that are susceptible to interference.

	RV Inverter
		The inverter is an inverter/charger with a high output battery charger that replaces the RV converter for normal use.
		Since the only load on the AC lines into and out from the inverter are from the 1) battery charger and 2) the inverter, while inverting and passing power up to the loadcenter, these lines do not have to be sized the same as the main shore power lines.
		The inverter is only passing one hot line through, and you want to energize both of the lines going to the loadcenter.

		Adjustable speed motor control inverters are currently used to in some electric locomotives and diesel-electric locomotives as well as some hybrid electric highway vehicles such as the Toyota Prius.
		Various improvements in inverter technology are being developed specifically for electric vehicle applications.
		Since early transistors were not available with sufficient voltage and current ratings for most inverter applications, it was the 1957 introduction of the thyristor or silicon-controlled rectifier (SCR) that initiated the transition to solid state inverter circuits.

	Inverters by phred
		They simply use some of the existing circuits in the inverter (that are far superior to those in an RV converter) to operate a very sophisticated battery charger (that is also far superior to anything in a standard RV converter).
		Inverters do well in outside RV compartments as long as they are protected from the elements.
		Fusing inverters used to be a big problem because the line loss when going through available fuses and connectors was so great it interfered with inverter efficiency (and the disconnects could fill a coffin they were so big).

	Howstuffworks "How Emergency Power Systems Work"
		If you are willing to build a more elaborate system, inverters can be a good option up to about 2,500 watts, although they tend to get expensive at that point (a 2,500-watt inverter might cost $600 to $1,000, and then you need to buy a number of deep-cycle batteries and a charging system).
		To run an inverter with a capacity greater than 300 watts from a car, you need to connect it directly to the car's battery with cables, and you will need to run the car's engine continuously.
		At night we use the inverter hooked to the car to power one or two compact fluorescent bulbs that provide light in the house.

	Battery, Volts, Amps, Fuses, Page 1-- MAPUG-Astronomy.net
		When you switch on the load, make sure it is running correctly Many inverters have an output current limit that can prevent the output voltage from coming all the way up to 120 volts when trying to start into a load with a high inrush requirement.
		There are AC inverters sold, which are designed to do this - some 'off line' UPS systems, have a 'sync' connection, allowing the internal signal to be synchronized (for exactly this reason), but this is only common on very large units, where the manufacturers assume that even more power may be needed.
		If multiple inverters are used this way, it becomes essential that the ground connection is made common (and _only_ the ground connection), otherwise if there is a potential difference between the ground points, this potential will exist between the equipment...
