Can anyone comment on the possible effect of the voltage drop I'm seeing, and what the impact on my electronics might be after repeated usage of the 2000W inverter to run the microwave?
First, nice job on the video!
I need to know something about your test set-up.
I see a yellow extension cord plugged into the generator - not the expected black #10 RV service cord with an adapter. I cannot tell if the cord is running directly to the Kill-A-Watt then the microwave for the test or if it is perhaps going to the RV supply cord via an adapter at the end of the extension cord. If the latter is true, again the gauge and length of wire from the microwave outlet to the Kill-A-Watt meter will be helpful in giving you an answer.
Anyway - what is the gauge of wire in the extension cord and how long is it? The response is important to answering your question.
And, have you tried putting the Kill-A-Watt in the inverter outlet and conducting the same experiment at that point in the circuit? If so, were the readings the same?
On your last question - "and what the impact on my electronics might be after repeated usage of the 2000W inverter to run the microwave?"
Are the electrons you are asking about those in the inverter, the microwave or other devices in your camper like TV, converter, fridge, etc.?
Just need to know a little more in order to give you an accurate answer.
