Square wave and Sinusoidal wave reponse
Hey I was working this in my mind and found this question unanswered after a long time
Can you guys tell can a device which is working in AC mains (230 V 50Hz) work in a supply having 230 V 50Hz Square wave?.
I am confused can you pls post links are stuff and also tell difference in the response of a device to the two input sources ?

prashanth463i think it will work, however the device converts the AC to DC to perform its operation, when a square wave is given, the AC signal can be converted into DC in just one step i.e. rectification process -
Jeffrey ArulrajI want to know whether a device which works in 50 Hz AC sinusoidal cycle will work the same way in AC Square wave of 50 Hz.
Ex TV and stuff like refridgerators and all buddy -
Anand TamariyaNature of square wave will define how the device works. Think PWM - power output of the device will be equal to the duty cycle (on/off ratio) of the wave. For passive loads, this is not a problem (dim lights). But active loads will display erratic behavior.

Jeffrey ArulrajSo a device having unity or almost unity power factor will not show any mal functions right only that loads having lower power factor shows some change in behaviour
