    I guess I’m having a little trouble with that statement. The modules, when installed and operated as intended, are being powered by an alternator – and alternators produce sines.

    You cannot produce pulsed or DC waveforms from a rotary machine, without employing rectification or commutation.

    So it’s more to do with the duty cycle of the sine, if you can term it that..? With these simple alternators the slope of the current is very shallow for much of a cycle.
