January 30, 200817 yr I have come to a fork in the road. I realize this is waaay off any ISY-PLM-Insteon topic, but my thoughts are that I will ALWAYS receive the RIGHT answer in this forum. I am unhappy with the six 1000w UPS's I have scattered throughout the house. Some power computers, and some my plasma TV's and AV component stacks. I will eventually have whole house generation capabilities, but the main interest is powering the plasma installations. So, the question is: What sort of damage, if any would I do to my plasma and AV component stack by using a modified sine wave inverter? The basic concept here would be to use several car batteries in parallel and the inverter to power the entertainment area(s). The draw is about 500w per area so I would use a 1000w inverter. The pure sine wave inverters are more than twice the price of the modified ones. Any input anyone? Thanking you in advance, Joe
January 31, 200817 yr Joe, I wished I could help you but this topic is well beyond my level of expertise. This said, however, I would love to know the answer (if you arrive at one).

February 3, 200817 yr Brignolo, ask this question over on the Dan's Data site. http://www.dansdata.com/index.html He talks about this kind of stuff all the time. Scott
