Inverter for Residential Frig ????
First off, I don't know if I have a pure or modified sine wave inverter. Yes, I will find out. However, for now, lets assume I have a modified 2000 watt inverter in my motorhome. 1. If I instal...

I have read, here on the forums, that motors need a pure sine wave, I have operated several motors off MSW inverters many times and have thus not been able to confirm that you got have a true sine for motors.
Electronics, on the other hand, are another issue.... SO...
Refrigerators come in two types for this chat.. ONE is basic, has a mechanical thermostat and usually a timer motor for the defroster, and other mechanical sensors, Not so much as a single Transistor or Integrated circuit.
Others are computer controlled. Some of these may need TSW
Some (And these are the ones I recommend) actually do not run on 120vac at all, they may run on 48 volt or some other voltage but from the user's point of view they are 120/12 volt devices. (They convert as needed internally) These puppies draw around 35-50 watts, That's compares to a standard double lamp light fixture, NOT what you'd call a lot of power. No inverter needed (Built in) they are a bit more expensive, but well worth it. These come in both Upright and "Chest" models. I have a small chest freezer of this type used it in the house and now use it in the motor home.. Very nice, saves $$$ on power bills.
