The context is a kettle supplied at 220v AC from an inverter. The kettle is rated at 850 watts, resulting in a current of about 75amps on the 12v side.
I would like a circuit I can plug in between the inverter and the kettle to limit the current on the 220v side, and consequently reduce the current on the 12v side down to around 40 amps.
This is to protect a lead acid auxiliary battery in s camper.
I know the simple answer is to get a lower wattage kettle, and it's not the most effective way of heating water in this context but due to a combination of real life factors it would be very convenient to be able to plug the kettle in to the inverter and run the engine for the time it takes to boil at times where naked flames are banned.
Any suggestions.
For background my electronics experience is mainly from the 70s although I'm confident with circuit con
