Narrative:
At cruise we received the following status message: standby inverter. Approximately 3-5 mins later the purser called to complain of a burning smell. The appropriate checklist was accomplished and the smell was eliminated. I decided to continue to destination after much discussion with the first officer; dispatch and maintenance. All parties were in agreement with what had happened; what we had done and our intent to land at destination. Approach; landing and taxi-in were uneventful.
