What is the amperate draw /wattage required to operate the refrigerator?

Im not really sure i just plugged it into my wall outlet but it don't take much electricity that i have noticed.

On the back of the fridge...for power input: 115v - 60Hz....in the manual it states it requires a 120v, 60Hz power supply

You need to know the Amps. Volts x Amperes = Watts, or Watts divided by Volts = Amperes. Example say the appliance says 120V and 8Amp you mutiply 120 by 8 = 960Watts. If it says 1200W and 120V then you do 1200 divided by 120 = 10Amperes.

700/800/1500 watt settings, thats about 13.5 amps, a standard residential circuit will handle it, IF there is nothing else being used on that circuit.

You have to add the amps each appliance draws (starting amps, not running amps) and make sure it'sbelow the capacity of the unit. I ran 2 chest freezers at once, but never tried to run more at once.If the power fails I'll just run each fridge & freezer for an hour at a time every few hours.

Yes, unless your fridge use more than 16 Amps, this means power over ~200 watts

I would say 15 amps max . As far as extending the leads you will create resistance in the circuit so you might have to see if your refrigerator and temp reading on the device match

Possibly; but you should check the power usage of the fridge. Some fridges have newer technology that uses less power. Just not enough information to say for certain. The fridge will not draw constant power but most when drawing power will suck up 10 or more amps not leaving much room for error. Also the DC power going to the inverter will need to be strong enough to get the whole 1500 watts with out burning up your wiring.

I am very doubtful that you could run either of these major appliances. I run a very small frig/freezer on my boat that uses about 25 amp/hours per day. I think these much larger appliances have much larger compressors and would use a lot more electrical energy.

Look at the cataloge of your fridge and search for "power" (in watt)If the number was less than 500, you can use this. But I don't think that the frige can work below 500 watt.So check it.

Mine will run a small 700 watt air unit in my shop just fine and it ran my old refrigerator just fine but it will not run the new energy star fridge. The new fridge would not even try to turn on. I guess it looks at the input to see if it is good and gave this inverter a fail.

Before plugging a large appliance into this unit, the refrigerator wattage must be confirmed (to be less than the Ultrablok rating). Check the Ref. specification label. We have an Ultrablok on our furnace.

The load I use this transformer for is 40 Watts, so the current draw is 3.33 A. I wanted a high safety factor as it is not in an easily accessible place.

The unit draws about 11amps. You can't have anything else running on the circuit. Like a toaster oven, Microwave oven or the Refrigerator.

The PLF1504 is a 1500 watt unit. For any heater device, divide the watts by the operating voltage to obtain amps. In this case, amps = 6.25.

If the voltage is 115 and the current is 0.8 the power would be 115 Volts * 0.8 Amps = 92 Watts (Max, I left power factor = 1). The EL2601 can supply up to 400 Watts of power. Your fridge is using 23% of the 400 Watts. You will be fine.

The fridge draws about 30 Watts of power when the compressor is running, and when running in freezer mode, it will run the compressor most of the time. That means you'll be drawing 20-30W, or 200-300Wh over the course of 10 hours. For a 12V battery, that translates to 17-25Ah of battery capacity, plus any inefficiencies (some cars will also require you to have the ignition on to use the 12V sockets, which could add to the power draw). Given that most car batteries have capacities around 40-60Ah but only about half the capacity is usable, keeping this fridge running in freezer mode overnight is not advisable. I would recommend getting a second deep cycle marine battery so that you don't run down the car's main battery.
