To keep it simple, a 1500 watt heater will take half of your electric capability. When running, you must remember to use no other heavy use appliance that plugs in. Your microwave is on a separate circuit so it will probably work but that maxes out your power. You also have other phantom power users such as the converter, TV, etc. so this could impact as well on your power available.
When we used a portable heater, we simply unplugged it when using other appliances. It was a problem to remember and we blew a few circuit breakers when we forgot, but no permanent damage.
Hope this helps.
