for a small microwave for a boat, what wattage inverter do u need and
what will
it draw in terms of amps to start and run the microwave?
I picked the most efficient 700 Watt microwave I could find at the time.
Through the inverter it draws 84 Amps DC. A 1000 Watt inverter might
handle it, but it would be close. I have a 2000 Watt Heart
inverter/charger and its overkill.


I have a Heart Interface Feedom Jazz 1kw (2kw peak) inverter - It says right
on the outside of the box that it will run a 500 watt microwave. Have not
installed it yet - have not found a 500W microwave.
