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.

Also, I have no idea how many watts a blender...

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.

Not all inverters are alike. Black & Decker has been making them for years. Nice and sturdy models. Not bashing Energizer's product, but I don't want to mess up my vehicle's electrical system.
