OPERATION OPERATING PRINCIPALS For You Technical Types. The modified sine wave produced by your Whistler inverter has a root mean square (RMS) voltage of 110 volts. The majority 1. Basic Operating Principles: of AC voltmeters measure RMS voltage and assume that the measured waveform will be a pure sine wave. Whistler inverters work in two stages. During the first stage, the DC to DC converter increases the DC input voltage from Consequently, these meters will not read the RMS modified the power
