About this deal
Microwave ovens are fitted in plenty of modern caravans and motorhomes and present a particularly difficult load for power inverters.
600W - 12V Pure Sine Wave Sunshine Power Inverter C-Series
The actual operating power requirement rating is higher than the cooking power rating (for example, a microwave with "advertised" rating of 600W usually corresponds to almost 1200W - 1500W of power consumption). Inkjet printers can be operated normally with a modified sine wave inverter rated to handle the printer’s wattagerequirements. Ideal for powering a range of devices while you're travelling, this portable 12V inverter provides two UK mains sockets and two USB sockets; perfect for charging mobile phones, tablets, laptops and portable DVD players.
This latter calculation does not allow for losses within the inverter or wiring so the actual current needed would be nearer to 90A.

A 600W oven puts 600W of energy into the food but, in so doing, may take 1,000W or more from its 230V supply.Actual time may vary depending on the age and condition of the battery, and the power demand being placed on it by the equipment being operated by the inverter.

We recommend you use deep cycle batteries which will give you several hundred complete charge/discharge cycles. Good quality sine wave inverters can achieve efficiencies of 90-95 per cent in terms of output power to input power.
Pure Sine Wave Inverter: Much better than Modified Sine Wave Inverter, protect appliance life, and no electromagnetic pollution. Most portable appliances use separate transformers or chargers that plug into AC receptacles to supply a low-voltage DC or AC output to the appliance. In brief, the control circuit of the power inverter controls the operation of the whole system, the inverting circuit plays role of converting direct current into alternating current, and the filtering circuit is used to filter out undesired signals.
