A Wor d About WHISTLER Power Inverters. WHISTLER inverters convert low voltage, direct curr ent (DC) to 110 volt alternating household current (AC). The AC output is called “modified sine wave”. See “T echnical Operating Principles” section for more information. Depending on the model and its rated capacity , WHISTLER inverters draw power e ...
