Why does my power inverter keep blowing fuse?
You need at least that heavy wire and just because it have that type of plug in doesnt mean it was designed to plug to lighter,,, it may go to power point which may be heavier. Visit sberry27’s homepage! I see from post in electric that there is a 30 a fuse on the unit.
How big of a fuse do I need for an inverter?
Use 14 or 12 AWG wire & a 30 A fuse. Let us know what happens. I think you might need to run a bigger wire and a bigger fuse than a cig lighter. It was probably designed to have an auxilary power point installed,,, in the nature of a 10 wire and a 30 A fuse.
What causes a fuse to blow in a house?
Fuse panels haven’t been installed in homes for several decades; their technology lacks most of the safety features of modern circuit breakers. Any faulty wiring or connected parts risk a power fault (surge), which trips a circuit (or blows a fuse).
What kind of wire do you need to run a power inverter?
Run a wire from the bat though and not thru the fuse box of the car. Hi current draws there placed on the wiring there can effect the voltage in the rest of the cars systems. Needs a number 10 wire.

Why does my cigarette lighter keep blowing the fuse?
If this thing is meant to plug into the cigarette lighter (which has a 20 amp fuse) But, my unit keeps blowing the fuse because it is drawing too much power, The only option that I have is to run new wires for the cigarette lighter? In short, yes. And I agree w/ sberry…use 10 AWG wire, not 12 or 14 as I originally said.
