Hey guys, quick couple of questions, Im sure Old Tony will chime in.
I want to run an espresso machine when I go camping. Its a small sunbean picollo https://www.sunbeam.com.au/Coffee-and-Beverages/Espresso-Machines/EM2800-Piccolo-Espresso.aspx
It says it draws between 1350-1450W, does this mean Ill need a 1500w inverter at a minimum, I currently own an aldi 600w/1200w surge one but I take it this wont be enough juice to run it?
Also what sort of gauge cable would I need to run from the battery to the inverter to power it safely? By my calcs the inverter would be drawing close to 100amps at max? What gauge cable could handle this load from the front of the car to back (3m in length there abouts)?
Not too flash with auto elec stuff so after some help.
Cheers,
Shorty
