I have a plug in power meter that had a warning sticker warning you not
to use it on a generator or an inverter. I did it anyways with extreme
caution. The power meter can read the correct true RMS voltage from
modified square wave. The meter is powered through a series
resistor-capacitor power supply and the resistor gets extremely hot when
used on modified square wave.
What causes this?
Secondly, I noticed shaded-pole motors run slower on modified square
wave from inverter compared to powering from sine wave from the outlet.
Why?
