I have a DC to AC Inverter rater for 1500w (3000w peak). I have an electric heater rated for 1500w. When set to "fan" the unit operates appropriately; however, when set to "heat" I throw an over current breaker on the inverter.
Is it feasible to somehow reduce the current draw of the heating coils of the unit by isolating them with a transformer; allowing me to step down the supplied voltage to the coils but step up the current to a level necessary for generating heat?
I'm sure knowledgeable respondents will desire greater details on the devices involved, and I will obtain that information. But, generally, does this sound like something that can be done?
