Does anyone know how many amps this refrigerator uses?

I live in a avion travel trailer and I use 30 amps for everything and it works fine

This is a 110V. I've had this refrigerator less than a year. Ordinarily, I would have given rave reviews but it died two days ago. I'm debating about paying to get it fixed or just buy another.

Not likely. The current rating of the 3500 is 3.5 Amps. Your RV refrigerator probably draws more than that. That means the battery will have to make up the difference while the refrigerator is running. The key is how much current the refrigerator draws and how much it runs.

5 amps per Frigidaire and 550 watts if power factor is 1.0 and voltage is 110 volts. rule of thumb (?) is peak start-up current for fan and compressor will be 10 to 13 amps. Should work well with 15 or 20 amp circuit breakers, provided you know the amps of other appliances in same circuit.

The inverter will work if the refrigerator draws less than 500 watts, but the refrigerator won't, because it needs 60 hertz, not 50 hertz as in the UK.

add refrigerator amps and freezer amps= total amps times voltage=watts so if total watts are less than 3500 you are safe. it is more than I need

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....

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.

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.

I know you looked at there website, try to find the contact number. I do not know either. I have two and so far they work good, can't run an air conditioner without issues, I think I need more amps to get the 10,000 (so they say) watts. sorry I can't help much.

tay away from the 6amp converter if using the road pro stove. Get the Burton 200watt converter. I have trie the 6amp and others. It has 15 amps. use it for the same reason and also on a 75 watt fridge. A little more expensive but you will be happy with it. It has a build in fan that is a little loud but keeps the unit very cool. Hope this helps.

You have to add the amps each appliance draws (starting amps, not running amps) and make sure it's below 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.

How many amps does your compressor pull? It may be too many for such a small inverter.

well its 100 watts, if that is what you mean. It is amazing. The Voltage is around 13 volts I believe. Do you have any idea how many volts 220 is? We are talking refrigerator size.

Refrigerator will run on either 120 V or propane. When running on propane it will switch to 120V when electricity is detected.

Watts = volts times amps. You need about 1700 watts to run the fridge, not just 50 watts. In addition you would need to run the current through an inverter, which would require a little more energy.

First I have a question 220v refrigerator? Panels put out about 22 volts. To make it anything else you need an invertor, they come in all sizes.
