Fridge 300-400 watts
Inverter draws from house batteries if it is not a pass through type how much it draws depends on the load. But can be up to 2000 watts
Converter can draw up to around 1100 watts or so I'm told again depending on how big it is. that's 10 amps
If the inverter was drawing on the battereies and they were not full up then the converter was likely drawing the full 10 amps. another 3 for the fridge and 1 for the small fridge and likely 3 for the floodlights (1.5 each) and you are at 17 amps.. Very close to the Click of darkness You said the breaker was 15.
It adds up faster than you think.
