How do you draw over 2400 Watts with MW, is it plugged into a 20 amp 120v outlet

I've not measured the microwave for a while--and the turntable motor is burned out. It may be that it now draws less.
I go a couple of places where I can only draw about 1000 watts, so I use the hybrid feature of the inverter to do load support.
