VICTRON 12V 1200W INVERTER
Continuous power on a 1200 VA phenix inverter is 1000 watts. It is quite possible you are overloading the inverter. Can I just ask, what "fuse breaker" trips? on the DC side or AC side. Unless i am missing something i do not think you should be burning a 150Amp DC fuse. you should only be pulling 80-90 Amps. Might be worth taking some current and voltage readings under load.
am not up on all this sorry all i no is i have 12v battery in line fuse breaker 150A to inverter from battery ....battery volts is 12.7 i have nothing else running off the inverter ..the kettle is 1000w i only want to boil it for tea...put soon as i turn it on 3sec it trips ...should i use a bigger fuse ratings i would of thought the inverter would cope with 1000w
