Can the 1200VA inverter power an electric kettle? The kettle is 1500 watts and it takes up to 6 min to boil water.
How about a 1200 watt griddle? It would be used for 10 min.
or a 1500 watt toaster oven? Cook time usually 12 min.

Victron 1200va can power electric kettle?
maybe have a read of this thread https://community.victronenergy.com/questions/61525/pheonix-122000-and-hair-dryers.html
If you have so much devices with more power than the inverter can handle you should install a bigger one.
The 1200VA inverter is rated for 1000W continuous power, the 1600VA for 1300W and the 2000VA for 1600W, all at 25°C.
The griddle will maybe work but the others are too much.
Depending on the ambient temperature you can overload the inverter up to 30% for around 30 minutes. So you should at least use a 1600VA inverter.
What batteries do you have? Are they able to deliver so much power?
Hi,
I’m facing the same question. I have a multiplus 1600va (actually easysolar 1600) with 2x240 Victron AGMs. I’m looking for a suitable water kettle, but most of them seem to be way over 1300w. I’m wondering if I’m able to run eg 1500w kettle a few times a day for the duration of the boil, or should I pick lower wattage (travel) boiler?
Google "Birko". They make a nice low power boiling device. About 700w @ 230v...
