Let's assume some numbers. Your grinder might take 1500 watts to start up. 1500 watts is 125 amps. That requires two good (fairly new 100ah or so batteries) with at least 2 gauge wiring if the wiring run is short. If it's long you need closer to 1/0.
If you are using lesser batteries or thinner wire, the voltage is probably dropping too low and the inverter is cutting out.
Also not sure of what inverter you are using, but if it's the cheapest 12V inverter you could find on Amazon, it is likely not really a 3000 watt inverter.Comment
