i also had 350amp alternator and a 2,000 amp battery and 20farad hybird capacitor , i had large power cables for the power flow to the inverter .

When I hooked it up it blew my refrigerator up and the inverter blew up also

I ran it without any food in it for about ten minutes. It worked fine. But after I used it only three times in the first month one of the controls stopped working and it doesn't go on anymore. Since it was too late to return it and the manufacturer wanted so much money to repair or replace it I bought a Black and Decker one instead. Good luck!

the results i have had is the compresor will run untill the unit reaches the set temp. I have the fan for the coils running all the time . set at 38 deg the comp runs about three min. 8 times in a hour. all depending on how many times you open the door to the unit ,or if you are putting new items in the refeg.

I run 2 Servers in my home office (I am an IT Consultant), plus the rest of my home on this unit. About 5 months ago we lost power for 48 hours and we ran the generator using Natural Gas. I had a couple of hiccups with some of my UPS's due to voltage fluctuation. I think it has to do with the sensitivity of the units. My older UPS units did not have an issue. I have found out from others in my field that this is common with newer units. I have APC older units and they did beep every once in awhile, but the equipment stayed on all 48 hours. The newer units did not and once the battery was used up, the equipment turned off. I don't want to give out model #'s because just because mine worked, I can't guarantee it will work for you. Once it gets warmer around here I am going to try and put surge suppressors in front of the newer units to see if that helps. If not I would try to put cheap UPS's in front of the High Capacity units. Hope that helps. BTW, I have my generator connected using a manual transfer switch and when I lost power, I was able to be on generator power in under 3 minutes.... Power went out... I went outside, removed the cover, turned on the Natural Gas, turned the key... That was it. I use a battery tender always connected to the unit so the battery is always fully charged. Total install including the generator was under $2600.

better if it does .i ran other appliances off same circuit and blew the fuse

Yes it will run continuously if it plugs in.But it usually have a switch on the wall to control on and off!

I had it over-loaded with christmas lights for a float. At least 900 watts, likely more and all of it continuous load, not surge. We pulled that float all around town and probably got 3.5 hours out of it (maybe more) before I had to refill. If you ran it with a 700 or 800 watt load and didn't get at least 4 or 5 hours, I'd be suprised. Having said that, we did this 9 and a half months ago so the details may be a little fuzzy... But I honestly was very suprised how well this little genny ran. I actually expected it to fail due to how long we were running it with that heavy of a load. I wouldn't try that heavy a load for that long if I was using this as a home power source. Remember you are getting this guy for under a hundo...

This unit should be powerful enough to start your fridge. This unit will run as long as the batteries provide over 12 volts under load.

Surge output is momentary power, for no longer than a second or two. Whether or not the inverter can start a refrigerator or furnace blower will depend entirely on the needs of those devices, and duration of their startup cycles.

Depends on the total wattage draw. A fridge is typically 800-1200 and will peak when the compressor kicks on. Air conditioners will draw a lot of power when they kick on as well. I wouldn't expect to run both at the same time on a 2400 watt continuous and 3200 peak model.

No, this unit is way too small for that.This unit is for simple power needs, coffee maker, run a small fridge, a fan etc.I have used this to run a simple fridge, fan and coffee maker. .during a 2 day power short.It can handle all of this with no problem. The bad side, it will drink the gas.

Look at how much wattage each appliance takes (should be printed on a plate in amps or watts. watts is amps times volts) If it falls within the max. Watage the generator can handle you should be fine. keep in mind that modern fridge and freezer compressors can only handle a 5% voltage diferance, that is why I'm looking for a device to smooth out the surge and ebb of this generator. Not sure if this generator is within that tolerance.

I thing it runs continuously like your refrigerator. Not sure of the power usage. However I did not notice a increase in my bikl

I have not experienced a surge while using it so far. I think in case of a surge it will cut power off automatically to protect the appliances connected to it. To reset, press the button on the side of one end of the power strip.

Hello, it perform line conditioning. When it comes to surge, not much will stop that....

It should start immediately. You have to make sure the pump is inserted into the top of the porcelain dish.

Yes, it restarts after a minute or two pause if the power is interrupted. I think the pause is to reset the condenser, like what a refrigerator has. Those are somewhat touchy in power outages.
