Err, did you quite mean to put it like that?

No matter how many times I read this I am baffled.. not only by the question but a lot of the replies !
The orange cable.. It is a normal hook up cable ?
You are plugging it in to the motorhome in the socket on the side of the van where it is meant to go yes ?
You say that IT runs a tv and a kettle.. Where are those plugged in to ?
Are they plugged in to sockets in the van ?
Are you saying that if you plug a hoover in to the same socket as the kettle it will not work even though the orange lead is still plugged in to the same things ?

Which inverter is strong enough to power kettle and boil the water??
Hoovers weaker than kettle , common sense!
If kettle works from socket but the Hoover does not ( from the same socket) then fault lies with the Hoover, try the fuse, open the plug check connections, plug somat else instead!!

The difference being , one is a motor the other a boiler, common sense dictates that if you can boil water in a kettle in the normal time - an electrical motor will definitely spin but not necessarily at the designed speed hope that clearer?Common sense? Sorry don't get that.
We have a 1000w kettle, as do many hotel rooms.
An average vacuum cleaner is around 1600w.
And you have?Common sense? Sorry don't get that.
We have a 1000w kettle, as do many hotel rooms.
An average vacuum cleaner is around 1600w. Add to that that an electric motor has a large startup current, your argument becomes a sweeping statement made with no knowledge of all the facts.

nverter would not switch off, I'm sorry these are facts I have experiencedErr, no. The high startup current will just cause the under rated inverter to switch off. Either that or the voltage drop caused at the supplying battery will cause the invertex to shut down.
Either way an inverter will not run an appliance which exceeds its maximum output.
lets wait for the sparks to check it out and then we will know the facts, (maybe)

sparks is off ill, he was wiring a house yesterday and his side kick plugged the fuse back in while he was holding the live wires, what a blast, anyway he was not to badly shocked hope he will be here this week
Agreed, the inverter would alarm first...and if mine was the norm you WOULD hear it screeching away.I
