Invertor size for a refrigerator
I have a refrigerator rated at 6.5 amps max. Would a 1000 watt pure sine inverter be sufficient? Nothing else would be on the circuit.

Reading the manual for my MSW 2000w Vector inverter, it says it is "ideal for powering ...refrigerators/freezers...."
It says though, to check the label on the device (fridge eg) so it does not overload the inverter's rating (such as the surge on starting be within the inverter's surge rating)
Then it makes an important point. If the voltage drops below 11v on start-up so the inverter alarms, this is not the inverter's fault, but the problem is you don't have enough battery to keep the voltage above 11v.
None of which addresses PSW vs MSW, but that too should be (but is it?) specified for the fridge as in mena's post above.
