Amps/Watt draw for a microwave and any heat element

Hi ekyyc7,

If you want help then it is best to be polite.

Microwaves do not have a 'heating element' in the sense of a resistance heater.

The accepted way to convert from watts to amps with an inverter in use is to divide the watts by 10. For example my microwave is 1591 watts so it draws about 160 amps.
