Choosing an Inverter for Off-grid Pv Systems
Choosing an Inverter for Off-grid Pv Systems
The "modified sine wave" has detrimental effects on many electrical loads. It reduces the energy efficiency of motors and transformers by 10 to 20 percent. The wasted energy causes abnormal heat which reduces the reliability and longevity of motors and transformers and other devices, including some appliances and computers. The choppy waveform confuses some digital timing devices.
About 5 percent of household appliances simply won't work on modified sine wave power at all. A buzz will be heard from the speakers of nearly every audio device. An annoying buzz will also be emitted by some fluorescent lights, ceiling fans, and transformers. Some microwave ovens buzz or produce less heat. TVs and computers often show rolling lines on the screen. Surge protectors may overheat and should not be used.
Modified sine wave inverters were tolerated in the 1980s, but since then, true sine wave inverters have become more efficient and more affordable. Some people compromise by using a modified wave inverter to run their larger power tools or other occasional heavy loads, and a small sine wave inverter to run their smaller, more frequent, and more sensitive loads. Modified wave inverters in renewable energy systems have started fading into history.
Efficiency
It is not possible to convert power without losing some of it (it's like friction). Power is lost in the form of heat. Efficiency is the ratio of power out to power in, expressed as a percentage. If the efficiency is 90 percent, 10 percent of the power is lost in the inverter. The efficiency of an inverter varies with the load. Typically, it will be highest at about two thirds of the inverter's capacity. This is called its "peak efficiency." The inverter requires some power just to run itself, so the efficiency of a large inverter will be low when running very small loads.
In a typical home, there are many hours of the day when the electrical load is very low. Under these conditions, an inverter's efficiency may be around 50 percent or less. The full story is told by a graph of efficiency vs. load, as published by the inverter manufacturer. This is called the "efficiency curve." Read these curves carefully. Some manufacturers cheat by starting the curve at 100 watts or so, not at zero!
Because the efficiency varies with load, don't assume that an inverter with 93 percent peak efficiency is better than one with 85 percent peak efficiency. If the 85 percent efficient unit is more efficient at low power levels, it may waste less energy through the course of a typical day.
Internal Protection
An inverter's sensitive components must be well protected against surges from nearby lightning and static, and from surges that bounce back from motors under overload conditions. It must also be protected from overloads. Overloads can be caused by a faulty appliance, a wiring fault, or simply too much load running at one time.
An inverter must include several sensing circuits to shut itself off if it cannot properly serve the load. It also needs to shut off if the DC supply voltage is too low, due to a low battery state-of-charge or other weakness in the supply circuit. This protects the batteries from over-discharge damage, as well as protecting the inverter and the loads. These protective measures are all standard on inverters that are certified for use in buildings.
Inductive loads and Surge Capacity
Some loads absorb the AC wave's energy with a time delay (like towing a car with a rubber strap). These are called inductive loads. Motors are the most severely inductive loads. They are found in well pumps, washing machines, refrigerators, power tools, etc. TVs and microwave ovens are also inductive loads. Like motors, they draw a surge of power when they start.
If an inverter cannot efficiently feed an inductive load, it may simply shut down instead of starting the device. If the inverter's surge capacity is marginal, its output voltage will dip during the surge. This can cause a dimming of the lights in the house, and will sometimes crash a computer.
Any weakness in the battery and cabling to the inverter will further limit its ability to start a motor. A battery bank that is undersized, in poor condition, or has corroded connections, can be a weak link in the power chain. The inverter cables and the battery interconnect cables must be big, and I mean REALLY big, perhaps the size of a large thumb! The spike of DC current through these cables is many hundreds of amps at the instant of motor starting. Follow the inverter's instruction manual when sizing the cables, or you'll cheat yourself. Coat battery connections with a protective coating to reduce corrosion.
Idle Power
Idle power is the consumption of the inverter when it is on, but no loads are running. It is "wasted" power, so if you expect the inverter to be on for many hours during which there is very little load (as in most residential situations), you want this to be as low as possible. Typical idle power ranges from 15 watts to 50 watts for a home-size inverter. An inverter's spec sheet may describe the inverter's "idle current" in amps. To get watts, just multiply the amps times the DC voltage of the system.
Low switching frequency vs. High switching frequency
There are two ways to build an inverter. Without diving into theory, I'll simply say that there are differences in weight, cost, surge capacity, idle power, and noise.
A low switching frequency inverter is big and heavy (generally 10 kg per kilowatt and more expensive. It has the high surge capacity (four to eight times the continuous capacity) needed to start large motors. Beware of the acoustical buzz that low switching frequency inverters make. If you install one near a living space, you may be unhappy with the noise.
A high switching frequency inverter is much smaller and lighter (generally about 2.5 kg per kilowatt and also less expensive. It has less surge capacity, typically about two times the continuous capacity. It produces little or no audible noise. The idle power is generally higher. If the inverter is oversized for motor starting, its idle power will be higher yet, and may be prohibitive. Most homes that have a well pump or other motors greater than 1 HP will find a low switching frequency inverter to be more economical.
Both types of inverter have their virtues. Some people "divide and conquer" by splitting their loads and using two inverters. This adds a measure of redundancy. If one ever fails, the other one can serve as backup.
Automatic ON/OFF
Inverter idling can be a substantial load on a small power system. Most inverters made for home power systems have automatic load-sensing. The inverter puts out a brief pulse of power about every second (more or less). When you switch on an AC load, it senses the current draw and turns itself on. Manufacturers have various names for this feature, including "load demand," "sleep mode," "power saver," "autostart," and "standby."
Automatic on/off can make life awkward because a tiny load may not trigger the inverter to turn on or stay on. For example, a washing machine may pause between cycles, with only the timer running. The timer draws less than 10 watts. The inverter's turn-on "threshold" may be 10 or 15 watts. The inverter shuts off and doesn't come back on until it sees an additional load from some other appliance. You may have to leave a light on while running the washer.
Some people can't adapt to such situations. Therefore, inverters with automatic on/off also have an always-on setting. With it, you can run your low-power night lights, your clocks, fax, answering machine and other tiny loads, without losing continuity. In that case, a good system designer will add the inverter's idle power into the load calculation (24 hours a day). The cost of the power system will be higher, but it will meet the expectations of modern living.
Phantom loads and Idling Loads
High tech consumers are stuck with gadgets that draw power whenever they are plugged in. Some of them use power to do nothing at all. An example is a TV with a remote control. Its electric eye system is on day and night, watching for your signal to turn the screen on. Every appliance with an external wall-plug transformer uses power even when the appliance is turned off. These little demons are called "phantom loads" because their power draw is unexpected, unseen, and easily forgotten.
A similar concern is "idling loads." These are devices that must be on all the time in order to function when needed. These include smoke detectors, alarm systems, motion detector lights, fax machines, and answering machines. Central heating systems have a transformer in their thermostat circuit that stays on all the time. Cordless (rechargeable) appliances draw power even after their batteries reach a full charge. If in doubt, feel the device. If it's warm, that indicates wasted energy. How many phantom or idling loads do you have?
There are several ways to cope with phantom and idling loads:
You may be able to avoid them in the appliance choices you make.
You can minimize their use and disconnect them when not needed, using external switches.
You can work around them by modifying certain equipment to shut off completely (central heating thermostat circuits, for example).
You can use some DC appliances.
You can pay the additional cost for a large enough power system to handle the extra loads plus the inverter's idle current.
The inverter is one of the most important and most complex components in an independent energy system. To choose an inverter you should know some basic functions, capabilities, and limitations.
All types of off-grid PV electric energy systems share a common bond which is the storage battery, the storage battery absorbs and releases energy in the form of direct current (DC) electricity
In contrast, the national grid supplies alternating current (AC) electricity. AC is the standard form of electricity for anything that "plugs in" to mains power. DC flows in a single direction. AC alternates its direction many times per second. AC is used for grid service because it is more practical for long distance transmission.
An inverter converts DC to AC, and also changes the voltage. In other words, it is a power adapter. It allows a battery-based system to run conventional appliances through conventional wiring. There are appliances able to use DC directly but for the majority of modern appliances you will need an inverter.
There is another type of inverter that we are not concerned with in this article called a grid-interactive inverter. These are used to feed solar (or other renewable) energy into a grid-connected home and to feed excess energy back into the national grid.
Not a simple device
Outwardly, an inverter looks like a box with one or two switches on it, but inside there is a small universe of dynamic activity. A modern inverter must cope with a wide range of loads, from a single night light to the big surge required to start a well pump, a power tool or heavy machinery. The battery voltage of a solar or wind system can vary as much as 35 percent (with varying state of charge and activity).
Through all of this, it is the inverter's job to regulate the quality of its output within narrow constraints, with a minimum of power loss.
Define your needs
To choose an inverter, you should first define your needs. Then you need to learn about the inverters that are available. Inverter manufacturers print everything you need to know on their specification sheets. Here is a list of the factors that you should consider.
Operating Environment
Where is the inverter to be used? Inverters are available for use in buildings, for recreational vehicles, boats, and portable applications. Will it be connected to the utility grid in some way? Electrical conventions and safety standards differ for various applications, it's important to check.
Electrical Standards
The DC input voltage must conform to that of the electrical system and battery bank. 12 volts is no longer the dominant standard for home energy systems, 24 and 48 volts are the common standards now. A higher voltage system carries less current, which makes system wiring cheaper and easier.
The inverter's AC output must conform to the conventional power in the region in order to run locally available appliances. The standard for AC mains service in the UK is 230 volts at a frequency of 50 Hertz (cycles per second).
Safety Certification: An inverter should be certified by an independent testing laboratory and be stamped accordingly. This is your assurance that it will be safe, will meet the manufacturer's specifications, and will be approved in an electrical inspection. There are different design and rating standards for various application environments These also vary from one country to another.
Power Capacity
How much load can an inverter handle? Its power output is rated in watts (watts = amps x volts). There are three levels of power rating a continuous rating, a limited-time rating, and a surge rating. Continuous means the amount of power the inverter can handle for an indefinite period of hours. When an inverter is rated at a certain number of watts, that number generally refers to its continuous rating.
The limited-time rating is a higher number of watts that it can handle for a defined period of time, typically 10 or 20 minutes. The inverter specifications should define these ratings in relation to ambient temperature (the temperature of the surrounding atmosphere). When the inverter gets too hot, it will shut off. This will happen more quickly in a hot atmosphere. The third level of power rating, surge capacity, is critical to its ability to start motors, and is discussed below.
Some inverters are designed to be interconnected or expanded in a modular fashion, in order to increase their capacity. The most common scheme is to "stack" two inverters. A cable connects the two inverters to synchronise them so they perform as one unit.
Power Quality - SINE Wave vs. Modified SINE Wave"
Some inverters produce "cleaner" power than others. Simply stated, "sine wave" is clean; anything else is dirty. A sine wave has a naturally smooth geometry, like the track of a swinging pendulum. It is the ideal form of AC power. The utility grid produces sine wave power in its generators and normally delivers it to the customer relatively free of distortion. A sine wave inverter can deliver cleaner, more stable power than most grid connections.
How clean is a "sine wave"? The manufacturer may use the terms "pure" or "true" to imply a low degree of distortion. The facts are included in the inverter's specifications. Total harmonic distortion (THD) lower than 6 percent should satisfy normal home requirements. Look for less than 3 percent if you have unusually critical or sensitive electronics, as in a recording studio.
Other specs are important too. RMS voltage regulation keeps your lights steady. It should be plus or minus 5 percent or less. Peak voltage (Vp) regulation needs to be plus or minus 10 percent or less.
A "modified sine wave" inverter is less expensive, but it produces a distorted square waveform that resembles the track of a pendulum being slammed back and forth by hammers. In truth, it isn't a sine wave at all. The misleading term "modified sine wave" was invented by advertising people. Engineers prefer to call it "modified square wave."
The "modified sine wave" has detrimental effects on many electrical loads. It reduces the energy efficiency of motors and transformers by 10 to 20 percent. The wasted energy causes abnormal heat which reduces the reliability and longevity of motors and transformers and other devices, including some appliances and computers. The choppy waveform confuses some digital timing devices.
About 5 percent of household appliances simply won't work on modified sine wave power at all. A buzz will be heard from the speakers of nearly every audio device. An annoying buzz will also be emitted by some fluorescent lights, ceiling fans, and transformers. Some microwave ovens buzz or produce less heat. TVs and computers often show rolling lines on the screen. Surge protectors may overheat and should not be used.

Some people compromise by using a modified wave inverter to run their larger power tools or other occasional heavy loads, and a small sine wave inverter to run their smaller, more frequent, and more sensitive loads.

Because the efficiency varies with load, don't assume that an inverter with 93 percent peak efficiency is better than one with 85 percent peak efficiency. If the 85 percent efficient unit is more efficient at low power levels, it may waste less energy through the course of a typical day.

You can pay the additional cost for a large enough power system to handle the extra loads plus the inverter's idle current.
Be careful and honest if you contemplate avoiding all phantom and idling loads. You cannot always anticipate future needs or human behavior.
Powering a Water Supply Pump
At a remote site, a water well or pressure pump often places the greatest demand on the inverter. It warrants special consideration. Most pumps draw a very high surge of current during startup. The inverter must have sufficient surge capacity to handle it while running any other loads that may be on. It is important to size an inverter sufficiently, especially to handle the starting surge. Oversize it still further if you want it to start the pump without causing lights to dim or blink. It may also be worth considering a DC pump to eliminate the load on the invertor.
Battery Charging Features
Backup battery charging is essential in many off-grid renewable energy systems because there are likely to be occasions when the natural energy supply is insufficient. Some inverters have a built-in battery charger that will recharge the battery bank whenever power is applied from an AC generator or from the grid. As seperate cost effective chargers can be bought seperatly whether this feature will be cost effective will depend on the other requirements of your system.
Quality Pays
A good inverter is an industrial quality device that is proven reliable, certified for safety, and can last for decades. A cheap inverter may soon end up in the junk pile, and can even be a fire hazard. Consider your inverter to be a foundation component. Buy a good one that allows for future expansion of your needs.
In Summary
Define where it is to be used. Define what type of loads (appliances) you will be powering. Determine the maximum power the inverter will need to handle. Is the quality of the power critical? Does size and weight matter? Will there be any changes in what the inverter need to do in the future?

WWE Monday Night RAW Results Jan. 24
WWE Monday Night RAW Results Jan. 24
Divas Title: Melina vs. Natalya
Melina is shrieking early and knocks Natalya to the floor very early. Natalya is in trouble and Melina locks on a Full Nelson using her legs while sitting on the mat. That's a new one on me for sure. Natalya stands up and rams Melina in the corner and fires off some forearms.
She pulls back for a big right hand but Melina drills her to take her down. Melina tries a leg lock but Natalya grabs the legs and pulls into a Sharpshooter, wrenching back on it so hard that she's laying on her back. There's the easy submission at 2:45. Too short to grade but that submission was great.
Natalya b. Melina @ 2:45 - Sharpshooer
Post match here's Laycool. They say that this Sunday Natalya is losing some weight in the form of the title. They don't say which it is but apparently one or both is getting a shot.
Back and we recap last week's main event with Punk winning by DQ due to Ryan kicking him in the face. There's a religious sounding song in the background as Punk narrates about loyalty and faith.
Nexus is worrying about how Punk could cost them their spots in the Rumble. Punk and Ryan come up and Punk talks about making a sacrifice to beat Cena. He says that Sunday they will all sacrifice their spots so that Punk can win. Harris isn't looking happy about that. He says there are 40 people this year and what if Punk is already gone when they get there? Ryan says Punk won't be eliminated.
Punk says take care of the Corre tonight but McGillicutty says what about Cena? Punk says he'll win because Barrett was Cena's main enemy, not Punk. The leader has them take a knee and raise their fists, drawing great heat from the crowd.
Matthews is with Cena who says he's always done the right thing and he'll do that tonight. If Punk wins he'll eliminate every member of the New Nexus. If Barrett wins he has to deal with the Corre, which has an extra R. He found out what it stands for earlier today but gets cut off by Miz and Riley. Apparently it stands for rectum.
Miz says everyone needs to realize that winning the Rumble could be the worst thing possible as it means they could face him. Cena stares him down and says Miz might lose at the Rumble and lose his rematch and not make it to Wrestlemania. Cena leaves and Miz gets rid of Matthews. Miz asks the audience if they think he'll win the Rumble. He asks Riley if it's ready and Riley says roll the footage. We get a clip of the beatdown of Orton from last week and Cole is very happy with it.
The Miz vs. Edge
As we're about ready to go here's Dolph. Can we get to some wrestling already? Ziggler and Vickie join us on commentary and we finally get the bell. Edge has taped ribs due to the Corre attack on Friday. After a brief feeling out process Edge takes over with some basic stuff. Later on we'll get an update on Teddy Long. Miz fires back but no one has had a long advantage yet.
Edge gets a clothesline to take Miz to the floor and we take a break.
Back with Edge getting a cover over what looked like a backdrop. Jerry: "Vickie I'm glad you could be here. I thought you'd be at the birth of your next boyfriend." King gets a good line in every now and then like there. Miz takes over but lowers his head and gets caught in a spinning neckbreaker. Edge wants the spear but Miz hits the floor.
Miz goes for the ribs but can't send Edge into the railing as the Canadian reverses. Back in and Miz can't get a superplex. Edge knocks him off and gets a top rope cross body for two. Jerry gets in an argument with Vickie and Dolph over glasses and pants or something like that. Miz drapes Edge over the top rope as we take another break.
Back with Miz getting a two off an unseen move. Some right hands get another two. Miz has a body scissors on Edge as Cole goes on and on about how great Miz is, listing off various people he's a combination of: Sammartino, Thesz, Michaels, just to name a few. Edge fights up and gets his half nelson face crusher for two. Miz's corner clothesline misses and Edge gets two.
Riley grabs the leg of Edge and Edge goes after him. Nothing comes of that but Miz gets a small package on Edge when he comes back in for two. Edge hits the ropes and misses a clothesline but Edge takes out Riley with a baseball slide. Edgecution puts Miz down and Edge wants the spear. And never mind as Ziggler trips him for the DQ at 16:40.
Edge b. The Miz via DQ when Alex Riley interfered
Rating:B-. Good match here and it got a lot of time. The double commercial kind of hurt it as it made it feel a bit disjointed. They started to crank it up at the end, but the most important thing here is that Miz looked pretty strong. No one winning definitively is a good thing for sure. Not a great match but not bat at all.
Post match Ziggler hits the Zig Zag but here comes Orton for the save. The crowd wakes way up for his appearance. RKO to Riley and RKO to Ziggler, but Miz gets a shot in and leaves with the title as we take a break.
Back with Barrett saying that he always talked about how Nexus was about the bigger picture. However he lost sight of that and only cared about the title and humiliating Cena. We pan out to see everyone else but Barrett repeated that there are no leaders here. Matthews asks about the attack on Long but Barrett again denies it. He respects Cena and hopes that can be mutual someday.
Daniel Bryan/Bella Twins vs. Ted DiBiase/Alicia Fox/Maryse
The genitaila have to match here. The guys start and it's off to a Bella and Maryse very soon. The other Bella hits on Daniel and Maryse gets a rollup with ease to end it at 57 seconds. No rating of course. Alicia I beg of you: straighten your hair again.

Maryse/Ted DiBiase/Alicia Fox b. Daniel Bryan/Bella Twins @ 57 seconds - Rollup to Nikki Bella
Back and the Bellas are arguing about Bryan. Tarver is staring at them and then disappears. That was….odd. They go into Bryan's locker room and find him making out with Gail Kim who is apparently his girlfriend who he's been dating for SIX MONTHS??? And yes he was in fact a vegan. Gail says he was hanging with the Bellas because he felt sorry for them since there were no more guest stars and they had nothing to do. They call Gail a nothing and a brawl breaks out. This was surprisingly hilarious.
Here's Nexus and the tag titles are on the line next.
Miz/Ziggler vs. Rated RKO on Friday.
Michael McGillicutty/Husky Harris vs. Santino Marella/Vladimir Kozlov
Cole corrects himself as this is not a title match. McGillicutty and Kozlov to start. Off to Santino and he loses the advantage for his team. Harris beats him up for a good while as the Canaditalian is in trouble. He needs a tag but Harris takes Vlad down before it can be made. Santino wakes up and fights Harris off on his own. Time for the Cobra but he walks into a clothesline from Husky. Downward Spiral ends it at 3:52.
Michael McGillicutty/Husky Harris b. Santino Marella/Vladimir Kozlov @ 3:52 - Downward Spiral to Marella
Rating:D+. Nothing special at all here and I'm not entirely sure if I'd have gone with a glorified squash of the champions. It was a TV match with nothing going on at all for the most part. Pretty clear that it's just a way to set up another Nexus title run which they could use I guess. Yeah that's it.
Otunga says let's hear it for the winners and introduces Punk.
Cena is coming and we go to a break.
Wade Barrett vs. CM Punk
Cena is referee and the winner's group gets to stay in the Rumble. Before the match, Cena throws Nexus out. Hey Corre, you're out too. Cole gets on Cena for abusing his power with those ejections. Ah there's the bell but Cena shoves Punk down almost immediately. Punk comes up with a fist but Cena points out the referee. There's a slap to Barrett from Punk and again with the shirt.
Punk jumps Barrett and we're finally on. Barrett is thrown to the floor and Punk jaws at Cena, saying that's him on Sunday. Naturally Cena throws Punk over the top. Punk charges back in but won't hit him because it would mean he's out of the Rumble. Barrett jumps him from behind, but Cena hits the floor to sign some autographs instead of counting a pin.
Back in the ring and it's…a bell? It's a double DQ for use of excessive profanity on a PG show at 2:00. Both teams are out of the Rumble! Cena starts to leave but it's an E-Mail. The teams are back in, but if Cena doesn't apologize to both guys then he's out.
Wade Barrett vs. CM Punk went to a Double DQ @ 2:00 when they both used too much profanity
Cena apologizes but drills them both. The rest of the teams run in and Cena hits the floor. The locker room empties and it's the annual pre-Rumble big brawl to end the show.

The RAW opening video rolls and HERE WE GO!
Edge vs. Miz in a champion vs. champion match.
Melina challenges for the Divas Title tonight.
Here's Edge to open the show. He says to Miz that he doesn't have a lot of patience and doesn't want to wait. After listing off things he doesn't like to wait for he says let's do it now Miz. An E-Mail cuts him off though and the GM doesn't like Edge still. Thankfully they've gotten what looks like an e-mail on the screen now. We're going to have a mini Rumble right now and whichever of the three can throw Edge over gets #40.
Edge vs. Tyson Kidd/Drew McIntyre/Jack Swagger
They all come and are in at once. Edge takes them all down and eliminates Kidd. Drew kicks him HARD in the head and almost gets him out. Swagger makes the save as he wants the final spot but charges at the champion and goes flying out also. Edge throws Drew out without much effort to win at 1:14. No rating of course and I'm not even going to call it a real match of course.
Edge b. Jack Swagger/Drew McIntyre/Tyson Kidd @ 1:14 - Edge eliminated McIntyre to win
Post match Edge says he's going to get ready for Miz but first of all he wants to relive something that he did the last time he was on Raw. Does anyone want to see a smashed computer? Edge goes out to the computer but Cole stands in his way. Edge is going after him but here's Nexus instead. Five guys this time, including the new guy.
Post match Edge says he's going to get ready for Miz but first of all he wants to relive something that he did the last time he was on Raw. Does anyone want to see a smashed computer? Edge goes out to the computer but Cole stands in his way. Edge is going after him but here's Nexus instead. Five guys this time, including the new guy.
Punk says that in this world only the strong survive and they do that by evolving. He talks about the Rumble being bigger and to survive, the New Nexus had to evolve as well. Punk introduces the new man, and his name is indeed Mason Ryan as we all knew coming in. At least it's official now. Ryan says faith. That's the only thing he says. Everyone is in Nexus because of faith according to Punk.
He talks about Corre (yes I know it's the wrong spelling and I don't care) and how Nexus has more faith than they do. He will win on Sunday and Nexus will become the most powerful group the WWE Universe will ever see. Could that mean a new addition? As he stops talking, cue the Corre (I hate myself at times).
Barrett says he's looking at the poor man's version of Nexus. Jackson says Corre will try to win the Rumble for themselves but will eliminate Punk. Ryan gets in his face and we have an e-mail. The GM makes Barrett vs. Punk. The loser's entire group is out of the Rumble. The guest referee is Cena. King says it's a match you never thought you would see on Raw. Why wouldn't you expect to see that on Raw? Anyway that takes us to our first break.
Back and we get a clip of the mini Rumble from last week with Henry clearing the ring.
John Morrison/Mark Henry vs. Sheamus/Alberto Del Rio
Alberto and Morrison start us off. Cole is ripping into Jerry over him lasting 4 seconds in the 97 Rumble. Alberto controls early and brings Sheamus in after a few seconds. Morrison fights back fairly well against the Human Jar of Mayonnaise. Off to Alberto again and Morrison may want to consider a tag. He's fought off Del Rio but won't tag.
Morrison sets up for Starship Pain but Sheamus pulls him to the floor as we take a break.
Back with Del Rio holding Morrison in a chinlock. Sheamus interfered during the break to give his team the advantage. Off to Sheamus again and we see that Michael Tarver is watching on. He looks a bit slimmer but that could be due to being in a suit. Sheamus continues to hammer away and locks in that highly modified crossface chickenwing that he's been using recently.
A tilt-a-whirl backbreaker gets two. Brogue Kick misses and Morrison gets an enziguri to take down Sheamus. Henry finally is tagged in after 9 minutes. He runs over Del Rio a few times and gets a standing splash for two. He and Sheamus face off but get Sheamus gets taken down by the Flash Kick. Morrison dives out onto Sheamus and may have tweaked his knee on the landing. In the ring the cross armbreaker ends Henry at 10:07.
Alberto Del Rio/Sheamus b. Mark Henry/John Morrison - Cross armbreaker to Henry
Rating: C-. I wasn't feeling this match for some reason. It's not terrible but Henry not coming in until the very end hurt it a bit. Morrison seemed like he was sleepwalking through this and it didn't work that well for the most part. It's an ok match but it never really got going for me.
Divas Title: Melina vs. Natalya
Melina is shrieking early and knocks Natalya to the floor very early. Natalya is in trouble and Melina locks on a Full Nelson using her legs while sitting on the mat. That's a new one on me for sure. Natalya stands up and rams Melina in the corner and fires off some forearms.
She pulls back for a big right hand but Melina drills her to take her down. Melina tries a leg lock but Natalya grabs the legs and pulls into a Sharpshooter, wrenching back on it so hard that she's laying on her back. There's the easy submission at 2:45. Too short to grade but that submission was great.
Natalya b. Melina @ 2:45 - Sharpshooer
Post match here's Laycool. They say that this Sunday Natalya is losing some weight in the form of the title. They don't say which it is but apparently one or both is getting a shot.
Back and we recap last week's main event with Punk winning by DQ due to Ryan kicking him in the face. There's a religious sounding song in the background as Punk narrates about loyalty and faith.
Nexus is worrying about how Punk could cost them their spots in the Rumble. Punk and Ryan come up and Punk talks about making a sacrifice to beat Cena. He says that Sunday they will all sacrifice their spots so that Punk can win. Harris isn't looking happy about that. He says there are 40 people this year and what if Punk is already gone when they get there? Ryan says Punk won't be eliminated.
Punk says take care of the Corre tonight but McGillicutty says what about Cena? Punk says he'll win because Barrett was Cena's main enemy, not Punk. The leader has them take a knee and raise their fists, drawing great heat from the crowd.
Matthews is with Cena who says he's always done the right thing and he'll do that tonight. If Punk wins he'll eliminate every member of the New Nexus. If Barrett wins he has to deal with the Corre, which has an extra R. He found out what it stands for earlier today but gets cut off by Miz and Riley. Apparently it stands for rectum.
Miz says everyone needs to realize that winning the Rumble could be the worst thing possible as it means they could face him. Cena stares him down and says Miz might lose at the Rumble and lose his rematch and not make it to Wrestlemania. Cena leaves and Miz gets rid of Matthews. Miz asks the audience if they think he'll win the Rumble. He asks Riley if it's ready and Riley says roll the footage. We get a clip of the beatdown of Orton from last week and Cole is very happy with it.
The Miz vs. Edge
As we're about ready to go here's Dolph. Can we get to some wrestling already? Ziggler and Vickie join us on commentary and we finally get the bell. Edge has taped ribs due to the Corre attack on Friday. After a brief feeling out process Edge takes over with some basic stuff. Later on we'll get an update on Teddy Long. Miz fires back but no one has had a long advantage yet.
Edge gets a clothesline to take Miz to the floor and we take a break.
Back with Edge getting a cover over what looked like a backdrop. Jerry: "Vickie I'm glad you could be here. I thought you'd be at the birth of your next boyfriend." King gets a good line in every now and then like there. Miz takes over but lowers his head and gets caught in a spinning neckbreaker. Edge wants the spear but Miz hits the floor.
Miz goes for the ribs but can't send Edge into the railing as the Canadian reverses. Back in and Miz can't get a superplex. Edge knocks him off and gets a top rope cross body for two. Jerry gets in an argument with Vickie and Dolph over glasses and pants or something like that. Miz drapes Edge over the top rope as we take another break.
Back with Miz getting a two off an unseen move. Some right hands get another two. Miz has a body scissors on Edge as Cole goes on and on about how great Miz is, listing off various people he's a combination of: Sammartino, Thesz, Michaels, just to name a few. Edge fights up and gets his half nelson face crusher for two. Miz's corner clothesline misses and Edge gets two.
Riley grabs the leg of Edge and Edge goes after him. Nothing comes of that but Miz gets a small package on Edge when he comes back in for two. Edge hits the ropes and misses a clothesline but Edge takes out Riley with a baseball slide. Edgecution puts Miz down and Edge wants the spear. And never mind as Ziggler trips him for the DQ at 16:40.
Edge b. The Miz via DQ when Alex Riley interfered
Rating:B-. Good match here and it got a lot of time. The double commercial kind of hurt it as it made it feel a bit disjointed. They started to crank it up at the end, but the most important thing here is that Miz looked pretty strong. No one winning definitively is a good thing for sure. Not a great match but not bat at all.
Post match Ziggler hits the Zig Zag but here comes Orton for the save. The crowd wakes way up for his appearance. RKO to Riley and RKO to Ziggler, but Miz gets a shot in and leaves with the title as we take a break.
Back with Barrett saying that he always talked about how Nexus was about the bigger picture. However he lost sight of that and only cared about the title and humiliating Cena. We pan out to see everyone else but Barrett repeated that there are no leaders here. Matthews asks about the attack on Long but Barrett again denies it.
