If you are referring to the RoadPro RPPI-250

  • 2000 Watts Continuous Power
  • 2500 Watts Power Output @ 10 Minutes
  • 5000 Watts Peak Power Output.
  • A small fridge will use about 500 -700 watts, with startup wattage at around 2000watts.
  • So, a dorm fridge will work fine.
  • the RoadPro converts DC to AC voltage, so a regular 120 volt dorm fridge will work.

    How many watts does Samsung American side by side fridge Frazer use

    look on the compressor as there is a decal with the compressor details
    will show volts , watts and gas in use
    as the watts or current used depends on the voltage supplied so as you did not mention that we cannot help you
    if you want to run a fridge then the gen set size should be a minimum of 5.5 KVA
    that is constant running of 4.8 kva and will allow for compressor start up when more current is used that when running
    tip

    What size of inverter do I need?

    The correct size of inverter is an easy calculation and important to ensure long life from the inverter and the life of the appliances getting there power from the inverter. To calculate you take the volts and multiply by the amps which equals the wattage. Every appliance has a tag which must state the volts and amps. Locate the tag to find the information. Here is an example.

    Under Counter Refrigerator 1.3 amps (120 volts x 1.3 amps = 156 watts)
    Microwave (120 volts x 10 amps = 1200 watts)
    Alarm Clock Radio (120 volts x .03 amps = 3.6watts)
    TV (120 volts x .6 amps = 72 watts)

    You now add all the watts together, since the above list could likely be running at the same time. There is a combine wattage of 1431.6 watts. In this example you would need at least a 1500 watt inverter. However given some unknown variables personally I would get a 2500 watt inverter. Less stress on the inverter, will lengthen the life of the inverter. Had the total been 1,000 watts a 1,500 watt inverter would suffice.

    You must also remember that your alternator on your vehicle must be able to keep up with the power demand of not only your vehicle needs but your inverter needs as well.

    Wattage use

    Your calculations is correct - 220 X 0.7 = 154 watts.
    If your fridge only runs on 220 volts then you need solar panels that charge 12 volt lead acid batteries and then use a inverter to convert 12 volts DC to 220 volts AC.

    Have several non working inverters

    I have had this happen a few times.

    Sadly replacement is the Best option.
    Repairs can be %75 the cost of a new one.

    The best invert we have been using is a Pure Sine 1500 watt inverter.

    Sad news but hope this tip helps.

    I have a black and decker 1.7 cu.ft refrigerator its a 115 volts and 15 amp outlet and i am trying to put it in a semi truck. I am looking at a road pro 2500 watt. Do you think this will power it? And cool...

    What wattage is the fridge Youy cant compare volts and amps withy watts.
    If the fridge draws 2000 watts it wiull do the job but struggle as 2500 is the peak wattage and averages out at about 2000-2200 look at the back of the fridge. Just hope its about 15-1800 for effiecient cooling without strain on power source

    Power drop

    Hey, Question: Is the 2400 watt the peak rating or the continuous rating of the unit, and what is your power source for the inverter. If 2400 is the peak, the 1200 is probably the continuous. Your 75 watt fridge will draw probably 150-170 watts to start up, which will load the inverter to draw 15-17 amps of load on your 12 volt power source. If the battery supply is weak, the current draw at startup will cause the voltage to drop and set off the alarm. Getting the start up out of order may work for a while, but will eventually blow the internal fuses on the inverter, or possibly blow out the capacitors. Check the condition of the battery supply, and make sure the bar fridge is in good working order to resolve this problem.

    Basboard heater installation

    if the heater is 120 volt or 240 volt its really pretty easy. at either end is a cover. remove the cover and you'll see a wirenut or maybe just two wires. one side has an integral thermostat. connect your supply to the two wires on the thermostat. connect the other end in your breaker box with the appropriate sized circuit breaker. wire size feeding it will depend on its current draw. how many watts is the heater? 1500 watts will draw 6.25 amps at 240 volts so you can use 14 ga wire. 2000 watts will draw 8.3 at 240 volts - so 14 ga is still ok. 2500 watts at 240 draws 10.41 amps. 3000 watts draws 12.5 amps at this stage I'd use 12 gauge on a 20 amp breaker.
