Xantrex Freedom 458 20D tripping
Good Afternoon, Why does my inverter "trip" when running two appliances? I try to run a coffee pot and griddle, and my inverter trips. This causes the refrigerator to turn off as well. Is that really...

Good grief- this has nothing to do with the Inverter*. As OnaQuest said- you are overloading the 20 amp circuit. If you had no Inverter, the circuit breaker would still trip. The inverter should have a 30 amp feed, with 2 20 amp outputs. You simply cannot load more than 20 amps on a 20 amp circuit and expect it to work.
1200 watts for a griddle, 1200 watts for a coffee maker, 350 watts for the refrigerator. Add it up.
*Disclaimer- it could be that the inverter has magnetic circuit breakers, which will actually trip at 20 amps, rather than the normal breakers which can be abused a bit before tripping)
