Hi A point maybe to consider are start up currents for fridges etc...
I recently installed an 1800 watt Xantrex 12vdc/240vac Inverter connected through a 20 amp DC circuit breaker. The start up amps of a 50watt fridge threw the circuit breaker. At present It is hot wired and I am looking for a 60 watt circuit breakerfor the 12vdc side. It pays to look at your start up amps versus your circuit breaker amps.
