Igagasi le-sine elilungisiwe lihlobene ne-sine wave, futhi i-waveform ephumayo ye-inverter evamile ibizwa ngokuthi i-sine wave elungisiwe.I-waveform yama-inverters ihlukaniswe ikakhulukazi izigaba ezimbili, eyodwa i-sine wave inverters (okungukuthi i- pure sine wave inverters ), kanti enye i-square wave inverters.I-sine wave inverter ikhipha amandla afanayo noma angcono nakakhulu we-sine wave AC njengegridi yamandla esiyisebenzisa nsuku zonke, ngoba ayiqukethe ukungcoliswa kazibuthe kagesi kugridi yamandla.
I-sine wave inverter elungisiwe ingasetshenziswa kumaselula, amakhompyutha aphathekayo, omabonakude, amakhamera, izidlali ze-CD, amashaja ahlukahlukene, iziqandisi zezimoto, ama-consoles wegeyimu, izidlali ze-DVD, namathuluzi kagesi.
