I’ve just ordered this from flea bay, let’s hope it does the job.
I have a 3000w modified since wave inverter, hard wired into the batteries with a proper fuse and using welding cables, totally over engineered, but that’s the way to go with wiring IMHO. Anyway I bought a new coffee maker and it wouldn’t work, so I ordered a 2000w constant, 4000w peak pure sine wave inverter from Ebay, fitted it, plugged the coffee maker in and blew all the internal fuses in the inverter! I had the coffee maker tested and it’s fine, I use it at home now, but I’m curious as to why it blew the inverter fuses? Any ideas?

The initial start up ( inrush/surge ) current draw of the coffee maker’s cold element is ( possibly massively ) higher than its quoted consumption which is based on the continuous load of a hot element ?.
In which case maybe compare the fuse ratings of the house supply v the inverter’s using a comparison based on the equivalent amperage and voltage to see if that might account for the difference and the house supply’s possible higher tolerance to that initial surge loading. 
Got our new truck 3 weeks ago now. This one finally has an Anderson socket on the back under the suzies etc, so…
I have an Anderson lead, so is it possible / easy to have it ‘chopped up’ to have one of those in line fuses fitted, and the end ring connectors fitted for an inverter?
I got this bargain to power my microwave, which it does very well

What size (wattage) is you microwave?
As I wondered if it would run my Daewoo QT1
900w
■■■■ me the majority of you make a mountain out of a mole hill straight from fuse box with a fuse inline,bollox to wiring to Anderson plug more expense

This is why I don’t let drivers wire stuff into my lorries.

The machine is 1800w, it’s an updated version of the one I’ve had for a few years, which works fine. I have two of the new ones, one for home, one for the truck and I’ve tried both in the truck with the same result with the modified sine wave inverter. Some electronic machines need pure sine wave, so I tried that and it blew that, yet it doesn’t blow the modified sine wave inverter, it just lights up the power button on the coffee maker red instead of green, oh and it won’t make coffee!

I ordered this one myself and got the workshop to fit it when they actually fitted it it didn’t work the microwave kept cutting out all the time. That was with the battery running… 
whether it’s true or not they said it is a big difference between modified and pure sine wave so they’ve picked this one out for me now and they’re going to fit this instead.

If this one doesn’t work I’ll give up all together lol

Noted too for future reference…
