I'd quite like to use a larger Bosch shredder up there soon and I doubt
if the current generator will do it.


Last time I hired a large shredder, it ate 13A fuses like they were
going out of fashion, not very genny friendly devices I expect ...


My shredder (on checking) is 2 kW. Not had any problem with 13A fuses.
Obviously, they are a slightly nasty inductive load.


Nothing to do with inductive load.
Everything to do with start current.
