Will this power a 3.5 cf refrigerator. the power consumption according to manual is voltage 115, frequency 60, current (A) 0.8 KW.h/24h is 0.67
1477612
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.
1477613
find or convert the amps from Kw.h to the actual running amp draw ... for example 2.5 amps. Volts X amps = Watts So in this example 115 x 2.5 = 287.5 Watts So it would run the fridge ... but you need some allowance as at start the amp draw will be higher.

A KW is 1000 watts. Therefore 0.8 KW is equal to 800 watts. This is about double the capacity of the 400 watt inverter you asked about.Get a bigger inverter. 800 watts would do it, 1000 watts would give you a safety factor.

Well, this inverter is 400W continuous/800W surge, if the voltage is 120V, this should be capable of supplying 400W/120V = 3.3 A continuous with a surge of 6.6 A. So, if I read the spec of your fridge correctly => 0.8 A (which seems low to me but I am not really sure what is typical), it should work.

Kelvin: I don't know the answer to your question but I can recommend this as a very reliable unit running off US standard current/voltage. Mine has been running in my living room for two years or so without interruption and it still works great. Good luck!

Well I suppose so but it's not the good answer for a refrigerator simply to change the direction of the plug. It is Rated: 15A / 120V / 1800W. Some refers pull more than 15 amps. It would be more wise to simple turn the current outlet upside down if it bugs you that much. Remember to turn the breaker off before taking the switch out and turning it around. It really won't do any good as a surge protector for your frig. Remember that's why they don't even recommend a GFIC (Ground Fault Interrupt Circuit) on a frig. They can trip with just a slight change and if you are away you might not even notice it until the water from the freezer unit spill out or you have frozen food that spoils.

My fisrt answer was wrong. 0.01 kWHrs woulf be 10 WHrs not watts. The instruments resolution for power seems to be 1watt. Currently reading my refrigerator, the meter reads: 118.5 V, 0.84 A, 95 Watt, 97 V-A, 59.9 Hz, 0.97 pf, 6.10 kWHr, 79.15 hours. Some of the numbers seem a little off, exammple - 118.5Vx0.84A = 99.5 VA not 97 but that is only off by about 2%. Not too bad for a $20 instrument.

it will output 50 or 60hz, whatever frequency you input. So if you input 240v/50hz it will output 110v/50hz. The frequency (Hz) does not get converted like the voltage does.So these step down convertors are not recommended/ideal for using with appliances with motors as it apparently puts more stress on the motor as it runs slower if you run at 50hz rather than the original (if a US appliance) 60Hz.Saying that, I have 5 of these step down transformers in various Wattages and they all so far work well and I do use the 3000w one on a wine fridge that does indeed have a compressor motor and after 6 months no issues so far. I expect it may shorten the life of the motor. Hope this helps it will output 50 or 60hz, whatever frequency you input. So if you input 240v/50hz it will output 110v/50hz.

I'm not surprised. Motors (there is one running refrigerator's compressor) draw a lot of power the second it starts but it only last for a second. A refrigerator also has a small fan that circulates air over the evaporator coils, That fan likely draws 2.9watts. The meter also can record cumulative energy usage in kWh, a properly running refrigerator shouldn't actually consume that many kWh.

IF the Refrigerator uses LESS than 500watts and uses less than 500watts on start up yes you can... Pretty sure the converter takes care of the Hertz too...

If the A/C unit power consumption is under or around 4,000 W it should...I would check the manual for power requirements...this may also be described on the manufacturer label where the serial number is.

I disagree with MicroSolar, and agree with James H., I have a 675 watt fridge, and my inverter kicks the compressor over just fine with a 2500watt peak at the beggining, but i have overkill wiring, fat 4gauage more like 2awg. And the run (circuit legnth Pos + Neg) is 2 feet... Might wanna check your wiring before buying a bigger model, though your fridge could be more power hungry....

YES, avg power should be near 1322/5 = 264 watts That would make it NEW REFRIGERATOR, made after 1984 or so. Sealed electric compressor type. .. Harold P Boushell

Which Wagan are you referring to? If the fridge, I would think not. Limit of the Bestek is 3 amps; the fridge I think draws 5.

NO it's to small. You also need to remember that you will need a large Inverter probably 2000 watt or more to start the compressor. I am running a 130 watt refrigerator with 2 100 watt panels, and it's powered by a 750 watt Inverter that just starts it. My opinion is with today's technology it is not practical to run A/C.

If your stove runs requiring less then 1000 watts it should work. It's power requirement should be shown on the stove somewhere. How long depends on how many and the amperage capacity of each battery. I have 4 deep cycle batteries and can keep my refrigerator running for at least 8 hours before needing a recharge. The refrigerator runs about half the time at 165 Watts while a stove could run continuously an at a different power level. You'll have to do some math and know how long you want to run the stove to determine how many batteries you would need. Good luck.

should be I run a 100w fridge with it but I use 3 solar batteries as they are only 35amp hrs each

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.

Yes, the refrigerator will operate on 12v DC, however it will rapidly drain the battery if it is not receiving a replenishing charge.

Well, Mary, on page 16 of the CDF-11 refrigeration unit instructions we see that the maximum power consumption is 30 watts, or if you like, 30 watts per hour. It can be operated on 12 or 24 volts, making it usable on either a wheeled vehicle electrical system or, alternatively, you could use this on your boat. With a transformer, I use a Schumacher Model PC-6, you can operate this on household current. Or, alternatively, a properly rated battery can be used.
