I have what I assume is the original microwave, Panasonic 1300W inverter. Works fine at the dock on shore power, but last week-end, it was tripping the breaker while running on the generator. That load should pull 10-11 amps. However, it would jump (watching AC Panel meter) in approximately 5 amp increments until pulling 20-25 amps. I shut everything else on that side to isolate the microwave while diagnosing
Anyone had this situation? I would think I have 1) a bad microwave or, 2) bad power from the generator or 3) a bad breaker?
Was considering replacing microwave with a micro/convection unit anyway. Anybody made this swap, and what model did you go to?
