Upon searching for advice on this subject, google returned a few results ( old ) from this forum, so I hope this is both the correct board to post on, and an appropriate topic.
I drive an Artic. I have been using a MSW 1000w inverter that plugs into a 15amp rated 24v socket in the cab. It is able to power, sat nav, laptop, mobile phone charger, plus ( when required ) a 600watt pump ( for pumping chemicals ). As it is ageing and requiring maintenance from time to time I decided to upgrade, and managed to find a 3000W PSW inverter, which should power everything I need, without strain/overheating. I would imagine the inverter is similar to one you might use in a small solar install.
My question is that the PSW inverter has 2 + and 2 - DC inputs on the input side ( the old inverter had one of each ). Now, as my cab has 3 different ( seperately wired and fused ) 15amp sockets, would it make sense to connect one 24v socket to one + / - input, and the another 15 amp socket to the other + / - input, theoretically splitting any load required by the inverter over 2 sockets instead of it all coming out of 1 socket.
The inverter, if it helps is like this one on ebay

Thanks, in advance for your help.
