I have a Victron 3000 watt Inverter. Our Keurig started to cause our 12V lights to flicker, then more recently had an instance while plugged in to 50 amp service with inverter active I had an overload (actually 2). Learned that the Keurig uses triacs that only rectify the top part of the AC sine wave. This causes the inverter to overload because it thinks it needs to produce a lot more power for the Keurig.
I have seen similar issues with laser printers. Replaced the Keurig with a low end model that just heats the water without using a triac to control the heating element.
No issues running microwave, AC unit or anything else - with 50 amp service, 12 amps from inverter generator, or just the Victron.
Maybe this will help others.
