Below photos is my system: 200ah lifepo4 battery pack, 4 100w panels, Epever MPPT controller, with Giandel 2200w inverter.
Normally I run my 1425w coffee maker in the morning with no problems for the past 2 months. Today I tried my 1500w microwave for a 2 minute runtime during noontime sun! Just over a minute, silence! 175a fuse fried!
So, what am I missing? Microwave was pulling the juice! My red positive 4gauge wire were nice and WARM!
Do I need a bigger fuse? Or, is the microwave to big, need a smaller one?
Frankly, I was surprised. But I’m trying to learn what the limits are...
Plus, was trying to get over 300w from my panels. Just curious if I could test it to those limits...
