How to check a 230VAC sine/modified wave with an oscilloscope (FNIRISI 1013D)

Thanks this is a new option, but as I already have the transformer, how do I need to connect the secondary? Thanks

Wrap 10 cm of one around a wire from one pole of the inverter output Likewise wrap another around a wire from the other pole. Connect the 10x probe tip to one of the wires - not an inverter output. Likewise connect probe clip to the other wire. There will be enough capacitive coupling between inverter output and probe to safely give a small signal to the scope.
If you need to know the effective amplitude use a true RMS voltmeter.
Most low price inverters give "modified sine wave". Just a few discrete levels. Fine for switch mode PSUs and purely resistive loads. May not be good for 50/60Hz transformers, motors etc. Heed any such warnings in the inverter's user manual.

This is the transformer what I have. Tyco

I already attached a relevant extract from the manual in Reply #3.

Oops , you`re right :-DD

What about connection to the secondary of transformer?

A transformer can change the shape of the wave. The most accurate way is with a 100x probe... or make a box with a resistor divider in it.
