Inverter keeps blowing its 30 amp fuse

[CYCLOPATH]

My 2015 SE , inverter suddenly stopped. Mo good reason , only used an 89 watt charger that I’ve used many times before
Every time I replace the fuse and plug in, it instantly fuses. Before the plug is fully in
I tried a dummy plug with nothing attached , so no chance of external short
Any ideas.
Could it be something within the socket/ it’s micro switch ( if so how do I access it).
If it was a shorted inverter surely the fuse would blow when I put it in
How do I get to the micro switch?
Thanks

What do you mean by a dummy plug with nothing attached? Do you mean that the act of inserting a plug into the socket, with or without a device attached, causes a short?

Yes. It’s actually an adapter , euro 2 to uk 3 pin.
Of course that makes the micro switch turn on the inverter. Then it fuses
Shorted inverter?

Is that easy to replace?

I put in an eu2 to uk3pin adapter
As soon as it’s going in it blows the fuse
Inverter itself looks ok. All leads firmly in

Have you used an alternative eu2 to uk3pin adaptor? i.e. could the issue be in the adaptor itself?

Thanks, yeah. I took this one apart to check. There are no connections atall between the contacts
I fear it’s the inverter.
Not a big job to replace I hope, if o can get the trim off without breaking it

There is a guide on here somewhere from someone who did all this to turn it round that should help.

Once exposed it should be fairly straightforward to test the output from the inverter to verify it's really the culprit.

Once you can get to the inverter your nose will tell you if it's goosed, if there is a strong smell of burnt silicon it isn't worth repairing, there will be scorch marks on the PCB probably around triacs or power diodes
