NOTE, on the 12 volt side of life you NORMALLY have a main circuit breaker or fuse, usually 30-80 amps between the battery and the house.
Now if you have an In-Line inverter, it gets a direct connection to the batteries with much heavier wire and a big "T" fuse.
This breaker cycling would cause the house 12 volt systems, which includes control power to air conditioners, fridge, water heater and such, to "Blink" as the breaker breaks and re-makes.
NOTE that this breaker would NOT affect the inverter.. Think like this
Inverter---Battery---Breaker---House
And also note that breakers do wear out and start tripping at a fraction of their rated power.
