2000 Watt Invertor Issues, Need Help
My 2000 watt Prosine invertor works fine on small loads like TV, computer, etc, but when I fire up my LG 1000 watt micro wave/convection oven the invertor kicks off after 8 seconds, my batteries are n...

Well I just did the test and here is the results..
Test 1 : After shutting the main electric off and running on batts only the batts read 13.3 volts on meter, even at the solar controller panel, measured at back of inverter the same reading 13.3 volts, also measured my wire length and its 4 feet exact.
Test 2 : Set microwave to run for 20 seconds while reading back of inverter the voltage dropped to 12.67 volts as to tester, it never went under that and the microwave made it the whole 20 seconds, usually cuts off at 8 seconds, so after test the batts voltage went back to 12.90 volts,
Test 3 : We did another test with micro wave and voltage again dropped to 12.60 but than inverter kicked off only after 4 seconds and cooling fan on inverter kicked on.
Am I correct the inverter should Not shut off even with more than 12.5 volts on batts..
Also as I am typing this I have the main power back on and the inverter is on standby, usally I have to shut the inverter off because it wont go on standby but right now it is but maybe a hour from now it will kick off and sometimes throw my GFI..
So you think I don't know what I am doing, my inverter is not acting like it use to..
Time for a new one..
Thank You for your time..
