Power invertor problem while gaming...

OK so my next question is. Can I run a ps3 slim? From what I understand it you only uses 96 W even while gaming.

You are pulling too much off too small of a inverter or two.

The fuses are there for your protection.

You should not be gaming, you should be sleeping getting rested for the next load.

You need to install at least a 2000 watt continuous inverter that has a peak of 3500. And the dealer will need to install that custom to that tractor AT YOUR EXPENSE. Your engine needs to be running when you are pulling on that inverter or your batteries will get dead fast. Dead batteries very expensive. If you are a company driver you need to have approval from your company from the shop boss on up. That way if the thing catches fire and burns down everything you can show that yes it's a authorized install at your expense.

The small inverters that go into cig lighers, we had a 300 watter that drive a laptop at most or charged cell phones. They draw next to nothing with the exception of the Coppermine Pentium III CPU inside that laptop which had a max TDW of about 110 watts equal to a light bulb in terms of wattage and temperature at a very small voltage loading.

That inverter lasted 10 years beyond trucking until it finally burned up and had to be disposed of. (After it cooled for hours in a bucket of cold water.)

You are lucky it's only fuses burning up. You would experience a overcurrent heating your wires to those lighters in your cab which will burn off insulation and then light a tractor fire if it touches anything else that will burn also.
