I am off grid live secluded area need tu run my 13 feet refrigerator actualy having strating problems with modified wave inverter can this run 24 hour

no . i would go with a trace . may be you should change it over to gas . and i have see a conversion to dc units out their . i got a gas frig . as so what it use 200 gal a year . alot cheaper than all those panels etc .

This unit should be powerful enough to start your fridge. This unit will run as long as the batteries provide over 12 volts under load.

the tripplite produces pulse modulated modified sine wave it is substantially cleaner than a low end modified inverter and should have no problem starting or running any 25 foot or less refrigerator

I did buy this inverter..it did just what we wanted it to do... we use it for a small solar application on an off grid camp.. our biggest concern was running a small chest freezer converted to a run as fridge with a 5A start up needed. Have not had a problem.

I used the terminal blocks off the old inverter that I was replacing . You should be able to purchase grounding lugs with 2/0 connections and 1/4" or 5/16" size holes to convert over. I am very happy with the inverter. It is able to do what it says. Just got back from my camp over the weekend that is off grid, just solar 12V. My friends wife ran a blender to make a drink while we had all are lights and a tv with a dish setup all at once. We wanted to see if it would all run and it did . Had others that do not come close. Good luck

yes, a refrigerator is only 1400 watts, the inverter can run up to 6500 watts how to figure(amps X 120 volts = watts) so 12 amps x 120 v = 1440 watts, fan is quiet it cycles on and off depending on temp of the unit. a 3000 watt inverter would draw less from a battery and would run longer between recharges

Yes. It would defititely run 3-4 with a power strip. I used mine extensively over the past 2 -3 years and love it. I have used it to run 2 refrigerators during power outages. Starts on first pull, runs my power tools, it's a great machine at a great price.

It depends on how long you intend to run the appliance. Frig. 3-4amps @ 120V = 420 watts. Divide by 12 = 35amps per hour. Typical large battery has 150 amp hour capacity but not at that rate and not fully discharging. Regular batteries are cheaper and you will only discharge to about 11.5 volts. That is why most residential system use line inverters and sell back to the utility. My starting point would be 10 if I was seriously wanting to benefit from a generator / battery backup on these appliances.. A couple of batteries could take all the charge a 100 watt panel could produce for days. Store it, use it or lose it because you can't afford your design intentions here.

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.

If you had it hooked to a large capacity battery. With a inverter hooked to that battery large enough to handle 115vac @ 5amps. The amps for a small fridge is probaly closer to 1.5 than it is 15 amps. So with your panel in full sunlight producing 50W at 22vdc regulated to 12vdc. You could in theory run the fridge.

That all depends on the 12V power source, the inverter will run as long as you have power going into it

The inverter is a 3500 W. 4 1500 W equals 6000 w. That would mean you would need 2. I use this inverter on my boat. It runs a household refrigerator of approximately 1800 W. The best thing about this inverter is that it will shut down if it is back fed. Since I switch from AC to DC this feature is extremely valuable. I would recommend this inverter because I have tried Xanax and I burnt out 4 them. As far as the amount of battery you need it all depends on how long you going to run the unit.

That is the issue. If you want really long endurance off the grid you need to consider inverters, charge controllers and deep cycle batteries. All these cost a bit more and occupy more space. I've used this APC unit for 3 years with my database server and it has worked flawlessly. It is big and heavy for a UPS, but it keeps up my sever for about 2 hours when new. Monitor is off and the other equipment is run from a separate UPS.

I realize this is an old question, but maybe somebody else will still wonder (that doesn't already know, or maybe even have better information than I do). In any case..., I run my FM-65G mostly on solar (I use it mostly in/around or in transit to/from my trailer which has 1,200 watts (rated) worth of solar panels mounted on it - and which is the only electrical power my trailer has - I don't even own a (gas powered) generator and I regularly spend weeks camping `off grid'). Whynter will tell you one thing on their site, but I haven't found it to be especially accurate with its DC current requirements. According to my DC meter, when the compressor is on it generally takes about 6-7 amps (at 12 volts - I haven't tried running it on 24 volts, but supposedly it will, I'm a little leery to try it, even though the off grid solar on my house runs on a 24v battery bank so I easily could). Of course that is when the compressor is running, which it doesn't always, depending on the ambient temperature and the temperature the cooler/freezer is set to. In my experience so far, generally with daytime highs about 70-80 and nighttime lows in the 50's or so, and the temperature on the unit set at 37 degrees, it has averaged just over 0.5 amps per hour at night and just under 1.5 amps per hour during the day, for a typical total daytime average usage of about 24 amps (honestly, despite the inaccuracy in the information from Whynter, I'm impressed). If it's sunny enough, yes, an 80 watt panel probably will run it, barely, but there again is another variable - how much sun is there? Under the conditions I have run it, and based on my experience, 2 fully charged -6 volt golf cart batteries have a theoretical capacity of about 200+ amps which would theoretically run the cooler for over a week (probably overkill, at least for just running the cooler in the conditions that I have tried it so far). My AC meter reports similar, but probably slightly worse, performance (not including the (potential) inverter loss).

I run mine thru my inverter so that it will work when I am unplugged from shore power. Good luck

I used this inverter in my tank while I was deploYed. It ran off 24 volts and it worked great. Never had any problems.

The start up amps and continuous amp draws of your Freezer would be needed to determine if the PW1100-12 inverter would work with this device.True sine wave inverters are the best, but modified sine inverters can run many freezers on the market. Please check with the freezer manufacture to what is best for your model.With True sine wave you can get a GFCI outlet and know that the power will be clean and reliable to your freezer.

I cannot speak to the inverter issue but if outputs 60hz 1120v current it should work fine. The power setting are extremely consistent if set on temperature they are within two to three degrees of the indicated temperature almost always on the high side(i.e. if set at 80 degrees F the actual temp with my unit will be 82 degrees. Overall it seems to be of high quality.

I personally wouldn't recommend that as this fridge runs almost non stop in my house. I am concerned about the longevity of the fridge in my house.
