My new Phoenix 12/1200 inverter shuts down after 30 seconds into turning on.

I have 1 year old set of 4 x 6 volt deep cycle batteries approx total 425 amp capacity. Small loads are running fine but the microwave 1100W line low and 700W continues to shutdown the inverter. From what I can fine online I need to change the Dynamic Cutoff Levels on the app. But what are these setting that I need to change? Or am I on the right track? Thanks in advance.

Your Phoenix Inverter has 1200VA and not Watt.


The Microwave with 1100W is too big for this Inverter. My Panasonic Microwave has 1200W, but if I look at the ColorControl GX then I see, it suck 1480W!
