Will 1K inverter work microwave?
I have a small Class C with a battery bank of 2- group 24 batteries. I have about 165 Amps available at fully charged. I recently replaced my microwave with a slightly smaller .9 cuft 900watt Advent. It was the only one that would fit my opening. Now I am wondering if the smaller size could be used with an 1000 watt inverter/ 2000 watt surge? If so, how much drain would it have on my batteries? I would only be using it for less than 5 minutes to defrost or reheating. I could even drop the power down to lower the watts.
