It'll run off anything from dc to white noise as long as the rms voltage is somewhere near 240V! (Possibly the switches/energy regulators would be unhappy on dc or high frequency ac, though.)

Err....... why would you want to
It will be used off grid and a pure sine wave inverter over 3kw is much more expensive than modified sine wave inverter of the same capacity, the electricity will be from a hydroelectric generator with a floating buffer battery bank, so plentiful, I would expect a heater elements to take anything as you said but I am worried about the simmerstats as the contacts maybe eroded by the modified sine wave, as DC arcs more than AC and this would be halfway between?
