double conversion problems
Hi, For years I've been using double conversion to power my RV when there is limited shore power. I had a 2500 watt Cobra MSW inverter. Tonight, because a GFI on the house shore power was trippi...

Hi Mr. Wizard,
I've been wondering about that myself. Unfortunately the fair haired engineer who designed my RV put the converter below the power distribution center. It is not easy to get to the reverse polarity fuses and of course on the 9100 the wizard has to be disconnected to do so.
I've also not made it any easier because I have added two auxiliary shore power cords. Their female outlets "live" in the power distribution box.
I also have a hall effect watt meter so there is another "box" that counts the energy being used from all three shore cords.
I adore using the Nuwave for cooking. I did keep one hot plate as a back up.

I wonder about the nuwave.. rapidly pulsing a heavy magnet/induction load, could cause lots feedback spikes on the inverter output power feeding the nuwave
Try your setup using an equal load but not the nuwave
