The cable supplied with the inverter is 16mm2 cut to length to ensure no voltage drop or faults occure . In terms of circuit breaker , it's whole purpose is to protect the cable provided . So whatever cable you want to protect pick a breaker that is equal to or just lower then the current carrying capacity of the cable . In this case I think we had 100amp cbs as the start up current exceeded 50 amps for a short period and tripped the breaker .
I actually sold my whole set up and started again. I just finished setting everything up with kickass gear. Your main concern with the microwave would be the current draw on your battery. When we plug a 700w microwave into the inverter it draws about 100 amps . So it does work but your battery needs to be able to dish out 100 continuous amps so you don't damage the battery !
When you turned your inverter on was your car running to power the inverter or it's connected to the slim battery direct and how often do you charge your inverter battery and what is connect to?
My inverter runs straight off my slimline battery in my canopy . Now that battery was permanently feed from solar or from the alternator via my ctek dc to dc charger . I can do a install video one I get my new set up if you would like :)
Hi just a quick question did you add the ground wire, the online manual says too but my manual doesn't kickass video just says you can if you want I'm a bit confused
I havnt personally . But it is a good idea as any appliance you might use could come across a fault and then will use that earth to discharge the appliance .
Would be nice if you told us what size cable you ran from your battery to inverter and also what size breaker you used

Hey mate nice video did you end up running the microwave off the inverter?

That would be awesome, thank you for your message and good luck with your new set up 😊
