Hi All,
About two Years ago ,I installed one of those small 4 Cu Ft Refrigerators in
my Rig.
Then last Year, I decided to Power it with a Xantrex 3,000 W modified Wave
Inverter.It would run for a short while and the Over Load ,in the Frig would
trip.
I installed a ..9KVA isolation Transformer to feed the Frig, everything
appeared to be OK.
This Week I found a 4 Cu Ft with a separate Freezer Compartment .Before I
installed, the new Frig ,I thought I would Power it with normal AC Power
then compare it to the Inverter.
It ran most of the night ,and the Compressor was just barley warm.
I hooked the Inverter up and within a few Minutes it was Hot about 150*.Its
hum was louder, but didn't trip the Overload, This was out in the open. not
confined.
I f you plan to Power an expensive Refrigerator with an Inverter,I would
suggest you do it with a Pure Sign Wave one.
