Another inverter question!
If you have a 1,000w inverter running an LCD tv, and a 2000w inverter running an identical LCD tv. Does the 2000w inverter use more battery power? You see, I bought a 2000w inverter to run my micr...

You don't mention what size your microwave gross watt rating is, but my 2000w PSW inverter struggled to run our 1500 watt (gross) microwave...This was the same size oven we had in our stick house!! I switched it out for a Panasonic 800w unit (about 1100w gross) and problem solved...MW ovens are cheap, enjoy your inverter...
900w microwave.
I actually got an electrical engineer from the manufacturer on the phone today!
He had more info than I could process, but I got what I needed.
He said I may have gotten some moisture in the switch and it was sticking on.
When I checked it today, the switch was working!
Go figure.
He also said my inverter should have 00 gauge wire connecting it to the battery with a 300 amp ANL fuse and holder. My installer put AWG 6 wire on! 1/2 the size of what's needed!
If surge and peak are the same thing, I've got 2000w of it!
