The inverter produces 120V power from the 12V power from the batteries for powering whatever sorts of 120V devices you want to power when not connected to shore power. (Obviously there are limitations on how much power is available from an inverter.) Common examples include 120V televisions and other entertainment devices, laptops, crock pots, and maybe limited microwaving if the inverter and battery bank are sufficiently large.
As to why the 120V power to the fridge was cut, your guess may be as good as mine. Possibly there was some fault in the fridge or in the outlet it plugs into (water got into the outlet maybe).
So thats what I thought. But as it seems a.c. plugs and fridge a.c. only work on shore. I was looking at the inverter and it says the output is dc. Wouldnt it say a.c.? As for the fridge. I plugged it into an extension cord and then to a 120 outlet on the house. It imediatly blew the breaker. So as you said,it seems in order to keep from blowing the rv breaker they cut the ac outlet from the inverter. I dont know why they didnt just unplug it from the rear access panel.
