Out boat has a Wallas diesel hob and oven. My wife hates it so I’ve agreed we will swap it out during our winter break in Paris.
Gas isn't really an option as there is no dedicated locker for a tank and running pipes would be a nightmare. Would also have to be designed and fitted by a certified engineer.
So what Ive come up with is a dual ring Induction hob and a microwave/combi oven.
The hob has one ring at 800W and one at 1000W, the oven uses 900W on Microwave and up to 2500W in oven/combi mode
Our inverter/charger is a Victron Multiplus 2000 so obviously it wont run the whole lot but will run one ring and the microwave.
So I an going to get labels made saying “Don't run both rings unless on shore power” and “Dont run oven, only microwave if onshore power”
I was trying to figure out a way of making an interlock so it isn't actually possible to do switch them on but that would require breaking into the units and wiring two supplies which is messy and probably illegal
The Multiplus has overload protection hand has an LED which flashes near overload and then goes solid when it trips the supply. Ive played around with various combinations of existing items (kettle, hairdryer, coffee machine, etc) and its actually take a 500W+ overload over a while to upset it.
Do you think this would be a safe/reasonable way to run? Bearing in mind that it will mostly be myself and my wife using it. We are having guests while in Paris but we will be on shore power all the time then.
Further to this, does anyone familiar with the Multiplus know if it is possible to display the LED alarm remotely ? Thinking of either on the iPad I have the Victron Connect app on or a physical alarm triggered by one of the relay outputs from the Cerbo GX or on the MFD somehow sent from the Cerbo. We dont have a GX touch display as it was one of the things we skimped on when the refit cost got high but adding that would be another option if it would help
