The only way an Inverter could overload a circuit would be on the supply side. The fusing/protection for the inverter is incorrect.
A: Overload is a term used to describe a condition whereby a circuit is overstressed by additional loads imposed to it. Overload can be as small quantity or a very big quantity it depends on the circuit as it is stressed.
If you are describing a circuit breaker then its electromagnetic trip component will operate in the event of a line*-to-ground (*not 'phase'!) short circuit. The thermal overload component will only operate in the event of a sustained overload.
Sustained overload is overload that is continuous, or permanent. A resistive load is a good example. This is the kind of overload you get from simply plugging too many items into a circuit. Transient overload is overload generated by a reactive load, a momentary short circuit, or other temporary condition. An example of a reactive load is the compressor of an air conditioner starting. This kind of overload can be caused by a reactive load being added to an already moderately loaded circuit.

If the circuit breaker is in the off position there is no need of overload protection. Overload protection monitors the load amperage, If there is no amperage through the circuit there is nothing to monitor.
They are a safety mechanism designed to open or break the circuit in the case of overload. They are usually used when a device on the circuit would be damaged or destroyed by an overload.

Fuse, Circuit breaker
A circuit breaker trips when there is an overload of electrical current flowing through the circuit, a short circuit, or a ground fault. This causes the circuit breaker to automatically shut off to prevent damage or fire.
When selecting an inverter for your sump pump, consider the power requirements of the pump and choose an inverter that can handle that load. Look for a pure sine wave inverter for reliable power output. Ensure the inverter has overload protection and automatic shutdown features to protect both the pump and the inverter during emergencies.

the circuit breaker will trip or fuse will blow to open the circuit.
To trip a circuit breaker in case of an electrical overload, locate the circuit breaker panel in your home, identify the breaker that corresponds to the overloaded circuit, and switch it to the "off" position. This will cut off power to the circuit and prevent further damage.
