is it safe to use this with a fridge? The fridge is 2.7 amps.

I am using a 3-prong into a 2-prong adapter in my electricity 2-prong outlet. I have 4.50 amps. If you are in another country besides the United States, you would have a different outlet.

Yes, it's rated for 15Amp. To be totally safe, tab underneath must be grounded. This one is set up to put the tab under the faceplate screw

safe? haha. Part of the role of the ground wire is to supply a path to ground if a "hot" wire comes in contact with the metal case of the appliance, to trip the breaker. THAT SAID, I've used it with a large fridge, it doesn't get hot, and as long as you don't try to rewire the fridge while it's plugged in, you'll probably be ok.

Yes it is perfectly safe to use the adapter as you are using only 2.7 amps. I would groung the plug to be safe but everything would be ok.

amps X volts = watt. The fridge is 1.5 amps so 1.5 amps X 110 volts = 165 watts. Hope this helps.

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!!

The important question is how many amps of 110V/60Hz the fridge pulls. It appears to be rated for 13.5A @ 120VAC. So, if a standard 110AC outlet (15A rating) can handle the draw, this unit SHOULD be ok. That said, if I were you, I'd connect it and keep an eye on the cord's temps over the course of one day VERY intently and several days to a week periodically.

I bought this for my refrigerator. It's plugged into a regular wall socket. Couldn't tell you the amps.

YES, avg power should be near 1322/5 = 264 wattsThat would make it NEW REFRIGERATOR, made after1984 or so. Sealed electric compressor type...Harold P Boushell

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.

You can leave it hooked up and charging while runnning the 12v DC fridge.Depending on how many amps of draw your fridge uses it may or may not go over the amount you are producing with the panel.Do you know how much amps that the fridge draws?Thank you,AW

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.

The fridge has a safety solenoid valve that has to open to allow gas flow. It is actuated be electricity. You could defeat the valve but very dangerous and I am sure all warranties would be void. I used a cheap 12 volt car battery to actuate the valve at a remote cabin with no electricity. The only problem is you have to recharge the battery. I have two batteries.

Look at how much wattage each appliance takes (should be printed on a plate in amps or watts. watts is amps times volts) If it falls within the max. Watage the generator can handle you should be fine. keep in mind that modern fridge and freezer compressors can only handle a 5% voltage diferance, that is why I'm looking for a device to smooth out the surge and ebb of this generator. Not sure if this generator is within that tolerance.

Yes but you should run refrigerator on a timer to keep it from going into defrost mode witch can pull as much as 1000 watts for 2 hours

You need to know the working voltage of your fridge, this one is up to 750v, if above this figure, then it is not working to you.

Depends on your freezer's amperage. This unit handles 15 amps so if your freezer is say 10 amps, you have 5 more amps left to plug in the other side

I use 110 volt. 220 is too much current. Freeze the inside container very hard. The harder the liquid is the better the freezer works.

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've only used them with Amplifiers and other A/V devices. My opinion is that you shouldn't need a power-conditioner for an appliance. The power conditioner is to make sure the power is clean so it doesn't distort a TV picture or put noise on an audio signal, so it would probably be overkill for something like a fridge. That being said, you shouldn't have any problems plugging a large appliance into this as long as it doesn't pull more than 10 Amps (which it likely doesn't) if that's what you want to do.
