Being placed in a "specific mode" more than likely means a nice square 
wave, just narrower than at full power.

I had the fan motor replaced in my HVAC unit with a motor that did not 
need "Inverter technology".

"Inverter Technology", will probably get you "RFI suppressing 
Technology" in your hamshack...

Ask to see one in use, and bring a portable SW radio, and some 
ferrites...  I had a bit of noise on my setup, three or four ferrites 
later teh problem was solved, but I opted to not avail myself of the 
latest in "Inverter Technology".  :)

73, and thanks,
Dave (NK7Z)
