Microwave Overloading my 3000W inverter
Hi, So my generator quit working on me the other day. Until I can find some help to pull it out of my RV and change the starter I've been using my inverter. I've got a 3000W GoPower pure sine wa...

Yes very odd. You are certain there are no other loads on before you hit go on the MW?
My GP 2000 SW runs my Dometic MW just fine at about 1700 watts. 4x GC2 no assist unless the sun is shining.
I would be checking actual power draw with a clap-on ammeter. Check both the AC out and the DC in. Also verify DC voltage on the actual inverter terminals.
Has it run the MW previously?
Yes it has run the MW before. I remember making popcorn with it when I only had 4 batteries and it would drop the voltage down to below 12V but the output would be around 50% at most. After I got 8 batteries I tried it again and the voltage stayed above 12V with a 50% draw. I didn't use it for a long time I've been using the generator to make coffee and cook with until now.
