Can you please tell me the amp draw on this fridge. It is going into a efficiency with limited power resources.

I would really recommend you find another fridge. I had to throw mine away.
1952771
i cannot answer the question, only that the refrig stopped working just out of warantee. i threw it away.

The amp draw is 1.3A continuous with "start-up" amp draw listed as 6.0A. This is according to the UL label on the rear of the fridge.

The manufacturer's data says that this unit draws 13 amps at 120 volts. A dedicated circuit would be nice to have, but any 20 amp circuit that is not already running a large load (refrigerator, toaster, coffee maker etc:) should be fine.

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

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....

The electrical supply would be right, but you'd need a plug adapter because the UK plug isn't the same as an Australian one. Also, check the power consumption (Wattage) of the fridge.

I hooked mine up to my regular household voltage----120V. (although yours may be 110, 115 or 120). When connecting it to an existing circuit, make sure the total expected wattage load won't exceed your circuit amperage multiplied by the volts. Example: On a 15 Amp circuit, with 120 volts, I have a capacity of 1800 watts. If I'm running my Waste King at 450 Watts (4.5 Amps) while my standard fridge is powering up at 350 watts , and my toaster or microwave are running at 1100 watts, and my lights are on, I'm likely to flip my breaker. That's why the electrical load of most kitchens today are split over two or more circuits. I hooked mine up to my regular household voltage----120V. (although yours may be 110, 115 or 120).

You may try a internal temperature gauge. I turned a freezer into an refrigerator to run my solar, a freezer only take 300 watts compared to 2500 watts.

You might be able to. I am using it to power a dog luring course. I would contact the company who makes the fridge.

I no longer have the fridge, so I can't look at the data tag, but it is 60 watts, 110 volts.
1630672
Not sure, maybe you can find the specs online. I have a crappy room with crappy grounding and LOTS of musical and other electronics and this fridge was whacked into the 120 AC and didn't even make the lights burp when it went on. Hope this helps!!

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.

The 600w fridge will consume 3000w-4000w when starting, exceed the maxim power of this inverter which is 2000w. We recommend use our 2000w (peak 4000w) pure sine wave inverter. You can find it about 2 weeks later.

I am sorry, I have not opened my refrigerator as of yet and it is not where I can readily get to it. . If you could look on the box or somehow find out how many amps are required by the refrigerator, I can be of a little more help. I will also need to know how many the amps the battery holds. an example is you may have a 12 volt battery, but it will be rated so many amps. The battery could be 12, 24, or just about any volt size. A 12 volt, 30 amp battery would run a 12 volt 3 ah for ten hours, kinda...If it is okay with ebay, I would be glad to walk you through the math if you can get me the numbers.

I have one of mine installed in a regular 110 outlet with both a refrigerator and coffee pot attached. I think it will handle 20 Amps.

Look at http://www.sunpentown.com/rf32cudodore1.html: it says 95W, 1.1 Amp. I had it plugged in to a 15 amp circuit, shared with a TV and several lights, with no problem. By the way, I have had this fridge for many years and it still works fine.

I'm using it for a 720 watt fridge. I think the startup on a fridge compressor would be greater than that for a garage door opener, but have nothing scientific to back that up.

all the panels do is charge the batteries. if you have enough batteries you can run anything. These panels charge a 125ah battery in about 7 hours in good sunlight. you need to find out how many watts the refrigerator is and convert it to amps. amps = watts / volts. 125ah battery can run 6.25 amps steadily for 20 hours. Here is a write up i did about solar power and power conversions. On a good day i get 18a of charging power from 400w of solar panels. good luck. I put an example of a refrigerator in my blog. Hope it helps. (battery)125Ah / (charging amps)18 = approximately 7 hours charge time (6.94444444 hours) http://calculatingah.blogspot.com/
