Startup (inrush) of 2.7 cu ft refrigerator?
Does anybody know what the approximate number is?
Forum Discussion
Pigman is right on the measuring, it takes a data recording meter or scope to nail the startup current. FWIW, my 1.7 dorm fridge drew too much from locked rotor to be driven by a Samlex 600w inverter. I replaced the Samlex with a Xantrex 1000W inverter and all is good, now. An estimate of the current at startup of the 1.7 could be 4-5 amps with an instantaneous peak of greater than 5 amps.
