Inverter breaker

Any ideas why the breaker on the inverter would trip and then reset OK. It's a dimensions inverter with a push button breaker

Possibly a wire rubbed and shorting to ground some place.

A breaker blows when the current capacity is exceeded. Most likely there was an overload at the inverter when a couple of outlets connected were using power from the inverter. A heater and something else connected to inverter fed circuits could easily trigger the inverter breaker without triggering the individual breakers on the 4 or 5 circuits/breakers that the inverter feeds. Nothing to correct or worry about but worth thinking back to what might have been in use when it tripped.
