3500w power inverter
Just ordered this, and doing a calculation for a fuse/breaker. This has a peak output of 7000w, 3500w sustained, amperage is calculated to 583amps. I wouldn't think I need a 600a breaker... what am...

Thanks for all the advice so far.
The 3500w inverter I got is listed as 1a idle draw. It also has a remote pannel that I can install in a convienient place to shut it off when not in use too.
The size is what is constricting me right now. I have a travel trailer and will get a 5th wheel soon. No storage bin in the front, so I don't have many places to mount the inverter without going over 5' in length away from the batteries.
I may hold off on the inverter for this rig and just go with running a 20a 12awg from dc main panel to a housing with cigarette lighter/usb inputs and a 90+w dc charger for the laptops (they all charge USB C)

Thanks to the above poster for the idea.
