I have installed a Xantrex 1750 inverter on my boat this year. I did a
lot of research and decided that I would not skimp on wire, fuse, etc.
I am using 5 ft of 4/0 cable from one of my batteries, with a 250 anl
fuse. My first Xantrex, only worked intermittingly on and off. It
eventually fried my microwave oven. Discouraged, I put in a
replacement 1750 and it worked well from the start. the problem that I
am now having, is that it seems to be getting to much power from the
alternator(according to the lights on the unit, and shuts it self off)
and does not work when the engine is running and I have the battery
switch set to that battery. I think that I am doing everything right,
but could use some suggestions. thanks
ps did get to make hot dogs using my microwave on the fourth of july
while watching the fireworks on the Charles river in Boston. nothing
better!
