Hi Mr Wizard,
Actually the Magnum 3000 allows load support--so if the pass through is set to 15 amps and I am running 12 amps of heaters, and then start the microwave it will draw from the inverter for the extra power needed rather than blow the shore power breaker. When it moves to load support it does stop charging and goes to inverting mode. I love the feature. I wish it did voltage support as well--but it really does not. That means I'm still in the market for a good autoformer.
But I was not using the inverter. It was turned off. So the Magnum was only doing one thing--trying to recharge deliberately thirsty batteries.
