Leisure Battery

Yes, it is unusual. I think I have not made it clear enough though that running these unusual items is by way of a test to discover the load that the inverter can support.  It would not normally be used for these sort of items.

This caravan has two independent 240 volt AC circuits, each with a seperate breaker. I have arranged a change over so that one of the circuits can be supplied by the inverter. The 12 volt cabling is high capacity, but short, and with a suitable large fuse!      

The microwave normally gets used for only short duration items, of which the only absolute essential is reheating cups of tea that have grown cold for someone who likes every drink at almost boiling point - apart from lager which has to be chilled almost to rigidity.

"I have arranged a change over so that one of the circuits can be supplied by the inverter."

Nav, this is the sort of set up o was alluding to in my earlier post, which many high end MH now come with for extended independence.

however, its 'usual' for the switched over system to exclude powering heating and fridge etc...for obvious reasons.

good luck with the experiments.....

Thanks!   I'm somewhat stuck with what Mr Bailey decided to put on each circuit.
