It must overload in order for the fuse to burn out -- the question is how much damage occurs before that point. A fuse only provides protection after it burns out.

Hi Fransen, Check what your sump pump needs to run, the larger ones can draw quite a bit and this might not be enough to turn your pump over. Alternatively, if you have a sump pump in a pit, you...

I have read that you should go 50% greater than the peak load you would expect for an application. I would definitely test whatever you get before an emergency to make sure it will do what you want.

Unless it's one very small blender, 400w won't be enough. This inverter will be best suited to recharge batteries.
