Is there no way of distinguishing between a ground fault or overload condition on this inverter? An overload condition is starting to make more sense than a ground fault condition
Edit
I now see the inverter has a standard gfci output, which when trips should easily be distinguishable from O/L condition.
On a different note, the inverter is limited to 15 amps, not 20 from my reading of the manual.
At this point I would have to agree with Mexs take on this.
1800W continuous or up to 3000W surge, but the GFCI outlet is still a 20amp outlet. Interestingly, whenever it trips, it is IMMEDIATELY upon starting the microwave. As you mention, the GFCI trip is easily distinguishable from an overload - I am confident this is not an overload condtion.
