You overloaded SP. If you have a plug in "Surge Protector" that has lights on; what lights on it are on? Maybe your "surge protector" is an EMS and has disconnected the overload. can you reset it? Try removing it from the circuit and bypass it. Did you check the input breaker on your power panel in the RV?

looks like a mod your 30 year RV tech installed when he installed your inverter. Not something any of us would be familiar with.

Yes. You are correct kurt the 30 year rv tech did say if all 110 are on the inverter..he will install a device that protects the entire system so that your normal oem fuse box bmpro has no impact

I had the same problem but I have a different inverter. THere is a fuse reset button, on the bottom of the unit, white button that pops out when system overloads. Push in to reset. We have since learned not to run the microwave and space heater at the same time. I suspect fridge or hot water heater may also have been running with exceeded amp capacity.
