[QUOTE="Devin, post: 2174750, member: 219874"] I have a 1500WATT continuious, 3000WATT max power inverter in my truck. im trying to power a 710WATT 7.1amp window AC unit but it seems to be more that the Inverter can handle?? i dont understand if thats the case. i know there r wattage spikes with the compressor usage in the AC unit but it starts and runs fine which means that the inverter is handling the CRANKING AMP boost which i would think would be the most it would ever endure... Ive blown two 60 AMP fuses already and i want to be able to use this unit... any suggestions? Well it will run for about 3 min or so then either the Inverter will shut down or the 60 amp fuse will blow Well i have 8guage wiring running only about 6ft in length and yes the 60 amp fuse is coming off the positive side of the battery... what can i do to fix it? ok so assuming there would be a spike in the compressor wattage ... what would be the peak amperage needed (estimate) im thinking ill try a 100 amp fuse today and see how that works?
