Tim replaces a failing 1,000-watt Xantrex inverter on his boat, Lady K, with a new 3,000-watt LeapTrend pure sine wave inverter.3:18 During testing, the LeapTrend unit fails to maintain power for high-draw appliances, repeatedly triggering alarms and shutting down.10:50 While the inverter successfully powers a palm sander and a shop vac individually, it struggles to run a 1,500-watt electric kettle, cutting power after approximately 10 seconds despite the unit's 3,000-watt continuous and 6,000-watt peak rating.11:59 The boat’s battery bank, consisting of 425 amp hours, shows sufficient voltage during these tests, and the Victron monitor confirms the system has adequate capacity.11:05 The new inverter also fails to run both the sander and the shop vac simultaneously, a task the previous, smaller Xantrex unit could perform.11:19 Tim plans to contact the manufacturer to investigate the performance issues before finalizing the installation.12:11
