yes sir im sure. hooked them up one at a time. not solid wire. stranded. im guessing my run is 6-8 feet being my batteries are at back of truck.

and at back of inverter. it doesn't have where u just plug wires right in so they are connected same as on batteries
-
Does the inverter work with anything else???
It could be bad...but
I think it's too small to power the micro on initial start up,since you said it worked with the Cobra...
The cables look too small to me..
I only use 00 welding cable for wiring inverters. -
ok im done with this p.o.s. now im looking at the cobra 1575. whats your thoughts on this one sir? sorry to be a bug
-
the cobra I used it with was also a 1500watt inverter. never had any problems with the cobra. and why wld the ovp come on instead of the low voltage. and also I watched a video on youtube of the same inverter I have and it was powering microwave and fridge at same time so idk. puzzles me
and im using 4ga wires. I think that's whats recommended. welding cables not easy to find -
don't think that would be the problem. as that 1500 watt invertor has a 3000 watt surge capability. his 700 watt micro probably only needs somewhere in the neighborhood of 1500 for that initial jump state.
-
ok just bought the cobra cpi1575. works great!
-
guess the power drive 1500 was bad bc im using same cables and all with the cobra and it works fine. what size inline fuse do I need?
-
go back to the previous post where condo stated that OVP means circuit overload. the microwave is drawing more then the invertor can put out. he also mentioned that the low voltate is where your batteries would be dead. not enough to power the invertor.
-
ok well explain why my buddy has the same power drive set up and could run his 700w microwave
