[QUOTE="johnb2713, post: 528790, member: 35153"] What is the spec of the induction hob? Lots of induction hobs and microwaves take a huge load to get them started, I had a microwave in my caravan that took over 3kW at startup, settled to around 1100w after 1 second or so. I had a dreadful time finding a suitable inverter, I did eventually sort one, pure sinewave with remote on/off 3.5kW constant 7kW peak. Try your setup with a resistive load around same value as the hob and see if that operates if it does you know it's a momentary draw getting started. [/QUOTE]
