Inverter Adder Advice - 2025 Hideout 31BRD

[JRTJH]

Additionally, the transformer in a 3000 watt inverter uses more energy to power the primary winding in the transformer than a 2000 watt inverter which uses more battery power to excite the primary winding than a 1500 watt inverter consumes... in other words, the bigger the inverter, the more battery power it will use to provide the output wattage you intend to consume.

Sort of like a Ford 7.3L gas engine will consume more gas at idle than a Ford 1.5l gas engine at idle. Inverters are "sort of the same"... The power flowing through the inverter primary winding will be greater (use more battery power) the larger the inverter rating.

Instead of a fuse on the hot wire from the battery to the inverter you might want to think about using a DC circuit breaker. In the (hopefully) rare event the fuse blows you would a) have to have a spare and b) replace it.

DC Circuit Breaker

There are other models by other vendors.

I'll be adding a breaker to the circuit as well.

The fuse is for the hot to the inverter.

The circuit breaker would replace the fuse.
