We have a 3000w Victron Multiplus 2 (inverter/charger) that's set to run the whole boat as default. It is connected to shore power, but the input is ignored unless the battery SOC falls below 50%, because i want the most solar yield that's available. Anyway, the point is, the inverter happily runs all of the 12v/24v system and the 240v stuff as well. That includes induction hob, combination microwave, kettle, TV etc etc, plus USB chargers and all navigation electronics. You pays your money........
Exactly! Victron is fine, but a great many cheaper inverters give a modified sine wave which can be an electronics killer. I have seen some claiming to be sine wave when they are actually modified or stepped, and not giving a pure waveform.
