4.2 PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION The power inverter converts power in two stages. The first stage is a DC-to-DC conversion process that raises the low voltage DC at the inverter input to 145 volts DC. The second stage is the actual inverter stage that converts the high voltage DC into 120 volts, 60 Hz AC, Modi- fied Sine Wave (MSW). MSW is a waveform that has characteristics similar to the sine wave shape of utility power. This type of waveform is suitable for most AC loads, including linear and s
