I hope somebody can help me understand what is going wrong. I have a Gateway laptop with an ac power supply rated for up to 4.7 amps. I have an inverter rated for 4500 watts and 4.2 amps that I bought from Sam’s Club. It was made by Black and Decker. When I plug my laptop into the inverter I pop an internal circuit breaker that cuts off the electricity to the ac outlets. The cooling fan is still working and turning but the green indicator light is blinking indicating the breaker has tripped. I am told that I can calculate the Wattage required by multiplying the voltage 120 by the amperage 4.7. This gives me 564 watts. So I have come to the conclusion that something is wrong somewhere but I can’t figure out what. Any and all help would be appreciated
