Why won't 2000w inverter run 900w microwave?
I bought a 2000w Nature Power pure sine inverter from camping world. I had my local rv dealer install the inverter (and a power tongue jack) that I bought a CW. It was $200 in parts and $500 in ...

With inverter on using the switch, leave the microwave off. Tell us the battery voltage before and after. If there is another load on the inverter not yet identified, the battery voltage will be lower due to the "loaded voltage" of whatever might be on. Battery voltage should stay nearly the same when the inverter is turned on but with no load.
Say it is 12.5 before, it will drop to say 12.2 or whatever--depends on the size of the load (if any)
Still no word whether the rest of the receptacles are live besides the Entertainment Centre ones when on inverter. And if they are, what might be plugged into them that is on.
The TV etc will be on on standby, but this should be a very small load. You need to unplug the TV to have no draw at all from it when on inverter
Also does the converter have its own breaker and is it off, or does it share the breaker with the receptacles and the entertainment centre, so it could be on, knocking out the inverter or microwave?
The inverter staying on while the MW shuts off is odd. My theory cannot account for that. Maybe it happens so fast, the microwave quits faster and then the inverter doesn't need to, no idea.
