Need USA source for 220/240 VAC inverters

 I'm starting some design projects for use overseas and need to find a
source for 220/240 VAC 50 Hz inverters, preferably a source that has
both modified and pure sine wave available.  (And of course, a
reasonable price!)

Thanks in advance for ideas!

 Make sure you check the local regulations in the countries and states within
the country this equipment may go to.  Some countries/states only approve
electrically isolated inverters, consumers in many countries are now well
enough educated to stay away from modified square wave.  We are hoping under
the new national regulations in Australia that NON-electrically isolated
inverters will be totally banned.  In Victoria if my memory serves me
correctly, non-electrically isolated inverters are already banned.  Does not
bother us we only fit electrically isolated inverters and always have done.

It would be seriously appreciated if you cleaned up your language on this
forum <g>
"both modified and pure sine wave"  There is no such thing as 'modified sine
wave' - it is 'modified square wave'.

Nah. That's cargo-cult talk. You can modify a sine wave
into something more like a square wave and vice-versa.

I'm sure there are lots of similarities between cargo-cult
talk and advertising speak. They both focus more on the
superficial and less on the reality.

When advertisers say 'modified sine wave' they never
really mean it. They mean 'a square wave with more than
binary on and off'.

To the unprepared, this twisting of words and meanings
can be confusing and tends to mislead. It's like the
'Heavy Duty' carbon batteries found in dollar stores.
They only contain a fraction of the power of an alkaline
battery and run out of juice remarkably fast.
