Warning: This humidifier requires 100-120V ~, (nominal) 60 Hz sine wave output. If used in a
transport vehicle requiring an inverter, do not use square or pulse width modulated sine wave output.
To do so may result in overheating.

signal sinusoïdal de sortie de 100 à 120 V alternatifs, 60 Hz (fréquence nominale)
Il s'agit ici d'un signal sinusoïdal de sortie, compris entre 100 et 120 volts alternatifs. Je pense donc qu'on pourrait simplifier en parlant de tension:
Tension sinusoïdale de sortie de 100 à 120 V alternatifs, 60 Hz (fréquence nominale).

: Yes, but you've forgotten the vital 'sinewave' bit, which is clearly important here... // No, not necessarily, and here, because of what follows, it is clearly vital that it should be stated explicitly

The 'sine wave' element is vital here and must not be omitted

I do agree with Fabien that it sounds all wrong to talk about a 'courant' of '120 volts', but wrong though it is, one does often encounter this sort of expression — where 'courant' really has more the sense of 'source of power' than the literal meaning of 'current' (of course it would not work at all if the term were 'intensité'!)
