12v invertor outputs DC @ 115 instead of AC

07-23-2014, 11:16 AM

Hi folks... I'm curious about a 12 volt 90 watt invertor (cheapo cigarette lighter type) that, according to my "kill-a-watt" meter, says it is outputting 115v DC and not AC when I push the hz button. The invertor is clearly marked 12v DC input / 115v AC output. Thanks for any feedback.... Gary

Many Kill-a-watt meters have problems reading modified or squarewave inverters correctly.

Don't you mean Modified Square Wave?
