Okay, let's stir the pot again.
Start by reading the below.

I am trying to electrically 'fit' a 2 burner induction stove top and a 3in1 microwave, induction, broil oven.
I have a 30amp boat. I can do the "30amp dance" with style and grace.
I have a 20amp breaker to my current electric 3 burner stove/oven
I have a 15amp breaker on my shared (house) service including my 1200watt microwave.
From what I have read, I do not see a way to support a 3in1 oven without putting in another 20amp so I may have to settle for a microwave/induction oven. Either way, I will still have to do the "30amp dance".
Now, there is one strong advantage to the current resistance burners. Once up to heat, I can rotate the burner operation and oven w/o doing the "dance". Of course, if I turn the microwave on, "dance, dance, dance". With induction cooking, turn the burner off..... the food stops cooking. Cant rotate the induction burners like I do with the resistance burners.
If you recall, I can put the existing 1200watt microwave on my 1800watt inverter but for less than a minute without sucking the battery voltage to about 12vt (starting at between 12.5 and 13.5). (3X4D house batteries.) Edit: starting battery voltage 13.5, cup of coffee for 1 minute, 12.2vt. Within a minute the battery voltage is back up to13vts
Okay, my question, can it be done successfully, installing a 3in1 oven? The more I read, the less I think the 3in1 oven will play nice with the rest of the system.
