I'm not quite sure why you'd want a microwave to work as part of an
emergency installation. Fine if you're providing a *proper* standby
generating facility, but few would - unless they live somewhere subject to
frequent cuts. Surely some form of calor gas cooking would be easier for
emergency use - assuming you don't have mains gas and can't just use a
hob.
