I would like something that can operate as an uninterruptible power supply for my mother's refrigerator. Can this inverter act as an appliance UPS?

What size fridge? I don't know if it is compatable with house fridge. I bought it for my tractor that has small fridge and microwave.

I use mine in my big truck. I use an electric skillet ane microwave, tv and dvd player.

I am using this exact 3000w inverter to run a full size refrigerator and a full size chest style freezer. I have it connected to 6 batteries and 2 - 100w solar panels. it works GREAT during the day - at night I give it an added boost of a 2 amp trickle charger that I have put on a timer to come on at 9PM and off at 6AM its been running this way since Jan 5 2014

No. It is a good inverter though. Some inexpensive inverters will use a lot of energy even if they have no load on them. This one doesn't. Very important when running something that cycles on and off like a refrigerator.

I agree with the other posts . You need Deep cycle batteries but you also can find power inverted made to accomplish this task the only question being capacity wattage and if it has pure sine wave out put as long as your load isn't more than what the inver can provide and battery has enough capacity & is of correct type then you should be fine . Never however modify or tinker with UPS and modify it beyond what the design say .

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.

I think it should work fine in that capacity. It would be much easier to flip the GE switch off and on rather than plug and unplug the refrigerator from the wall outlet each time you needed it.

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

Yes, this model 1500VAC / 900watts is capable of running them for several hours. It's all based upon the exact amount of current the three items consumes. I have three similar items and looking at their identification plates I can see that the total power consumed is is just under 2 amps therefore this UPS should allow them to operate more than 6 hours.

You can use this for any electronics as long as the power requirements of the device(s) you hook up are lower than the power the UPS is rated to provide. Also keep in mind that UPSs in general don't provide much backup power time if you're close to the limit of what the power the UPS can provide. I believe this UPS provides up to 255 watts of power. You should be able to look at the specs for your TV and satellite receiver to see how much power they consume to see if you can use this UPS or need a bigger one.

This unit is only rated for 900 Watts so it you have your computer maxed out no it will not work; also even if your computer is only running at about 75% you will have no available power from the UPS for peripheral items. The power cord is 3 conductor 16 gauge with a standard 15 amp NEMA plug. I would suggest you use at least a 2000 VA UPS and really you probably need something even bigger if you want to have any amount of run time after a power failure.

Jeff, your question is kind of vegue. Are you referring to an inverter you use in an automobile of for battery backup for home or communication equipment? It being a deep cycle battery and similary to what we use in our UPS (Un-interuptable Power Supply) though ours will carry a load much longer. I guess that what I am saying to you is yes, they are suitable for use with an inverter.

Any good 3000w inverter can handle fridge and freezer, this one will do for sure

It can run electronics, but I would run it through a UPS to insure steady current.

If you mean, can the UPS, if charged, be powered on and used to run electronics when unplugged, the answer is yes. And while I haven't exactly tried it myself, I believe that you can start a computer or other device from "cold" while unplugged as well. The only caveat as far as I know is that it not draw more wattage / VA than the unit can supply during start up.

I think you are asking if this can be hooked up to a battery and used to power a household electric blanket and small space heater. If that is correct, then what you are looking for is a DC to AC Inverter. This unit does the reverse, meaning it plugs in to household (AC) power and converts it to 12 volt DC power for running DC powered devices. Look up DC to AC Inverter.

Your question would indicate that you want a UPS, and uninterrupted power supply; no it doesn't do that but it does prevent damage from power surges. Brown out protection requires a UPS.

Sorry for the Vagueness, I'm talking about using an inverter hooked to my car battery to power small appliances in my tear drop camper

Depending on the fan.. The power output of this inverter is 400 Watt continuous and 1000 Watt Peak output. Most household fans are ~25 Watts. So it should handle it without a problem.
