I don't want to make a new thread, sorry for not being able to understand, but why shouldn't it work with modified sine inverters? I am trying to build my own powerpacks (I live in Europe, and it's too late to order Vagabond, since you don't ship anymore), so I just asked about the inverters in some electrician forum, they said that it should work fine.
what would happen if i try to connect it? Would I blow my AB unit, or the inverter? what is the problem with the modified sine inverters?
thanks.
Electricians don't always understand electronics - particularly capacitive voltage multipliers used in almost all studio flash units. They require a sine wave inverter.
The ramifications of using non sine inverters can range from simple failure to work to possible damage to your light.
Pure sine inverters are available in Europe from various sources and we are working to get distribution in Europe. We still ship to existing customers. I believe our Australian partner will sell to you, but shipping on a heavy Vagabond, plus your VAT and duties make it difficult. You can also use Tronix Explorer (innovatronix) - Google it.
