This morning I plugged a small heater into an outlet that feeds the TV's and an outlet up front from the inverter. We're plugged into shore power so we weren't trying to power it through the inverter but still something blew and now there's no power to the TV's or that outlet.
I checked all the breakers on the main panel and they seem ok. Is there a breaker outside on the inverter itself?

There are two on my Magnum Converter/Inverter charger. White buttons that pop out. One for each leg of the 110.

My Xantrex has two "toggle" breakers on the front of the box. It is possible there's also a subpanel located somewhere near the inverter.

I checked the inverter (magnum 2000) seems to have three barely assessable 30 amp fuses and they all seem good. Do you have to remove the cover to get to the circuit breakers?

Thanks for taking the time to help me out

OK, I'm not sure what I'm looking at is the inverter. It's located in the compartment with the transfer switch but it says "Intelepower 9200 charger". If this isn't it, wew is the inverter?

OK guys. Your responses got me to do some searching and I finally found the "Inverter" I had to pull a drawer out of the hall closet to get to it but there it was and the breaker was tripper.

I LOVE IRV2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you again for taking the time to help out on a Saturday morning.

Glad you found it.. By the way.. That Intella 9200 is a converter/charger,, Not an inverter (As you know know) and based on many hours of research I'd give it a TOP RATING. There is good, better, best, and then you come to TOP RATING. and it's among those.
