Doing test run before trip (parked in the driveway) all was working good then i turned on a 110 appliance (electric kettle) and everything went out including 12v lights. I reset my breakers that are pre charge controller but still nothing working. Is there a reset on the inverter (Renogy 2000w)? Sitting dead.

Ok I see. My anl 100 amp fuse is blown. I see I am having the same issue as the person with the 3k inverter and electric kettle. Im not that attached to the electric kettle but it would have been nice.

Can i put a bigger fuse in? You should be able to put a bigger fuse to help with the draw on the 3000W inverter. A 400 fuse is recommend with 4/0 cabling. -Renogy Team |

Actually my inverter is a 2k and my cabling is "2" so I should be able to go with 200a fuse then correct?

Your going to keep having problems as an elect kettle pulls way to much power for a small solar set up.... Like I've said many times before that's what propane and kerosene is for..... It's the easiest way to heat water...
Adding a larger fuse is just going to put more stress on your solar system and you could damage it.......

Main fuse at the battery for 2 gauge wire is 200A or smaller. From there when your distribute 12v via smaller wires you use smaller fuses, max based on wire size.
