Power inverter keeps blowing fuses

Have you checked the cord for damage? sounds like a short if it happens instantly when you plug it in

 

Probably has a bad overload protection breaker (fried) Sound's like one of those bought at Loves. They work fine as long as you don't push them to see how far and for how long they'll go.

 

inside the inverter. Doe's your have a button that can be pressed to reset the breaker? If so, that's probably what's bad. If not, it probably still has some sort of internal overload protection inside the inverter that is melted.

Does the cigarette plug appear to have gotten hot at one time and melted somewhat? The short could be in there, regardless. Maybe you can open it up without any real issues to see if everything looks in order. It might be a simple short and simple fix inside the plug or the inverter strip.

 

I need help I bought a power drive 400 watt inverter when I hook my PlayStation 4 up to it it’ll run for a lil bit then just shut off and I just changed the fuse to another fuse inside the adapter to the cigarette outlet in my semi and the fuse do not look burnt or anything but it’s just keep shutting off what can I do I’m on my last fuse for the adapter

 

Well for starters, your 400W inverter is going to pull about 35A of current at 12 volts and about 28A of current at 14 volts when running at 100% load. If you're pulling more than about 120-150 watts out of your cigarette lighter, you're probably overloading the truck's cigarette lighter circuit.

 

I suggest having your company's shop install the proper hookup directly to the battery. Anything much larger than about 100 to 150 watts is too much for the lighter socket to handle.
