Does your heat gun use phase control or burst control?

Burst control typically switches the element on / of for up to 10 cycles at a time. Jumping between 0 and max. all the time might be what gives your inverter a hard time.

A Triac triggering after 90 deg. in each half cycle might be less demanding as the inverter never has to supply the full power.
