PS: I hope that you already know that high toque motors like a refrigerator require pure sine wave power, not the lower cost modified sine wave power. It might start fine with no load on MSW, but once it is cold, and the pressure is different between the cold side and hot side, starting current might increase a lot.
This statement is not supported by the many hundreds of people who have installed a residential refrigerator or the literally thousands of factory installed residential refrigerators all powered by a modified sine wave inverter.
