Re: Consumption dometic freshwell
Hi, I also checked the manual and it states "cooling capacity" 2700w according to ISO5151. But the current consumption is only given as 6amp at 220v. Which would be about 1300w.i obviously don't know the iso5151 so I went for the current draw. @wa8yxm thx but it's an indoor unit working with hoses and it's only twice. @the others no I am all the way 220v419Views0likes0CommentsConsumption dometic freshwell
Hi I have a dometic freshwell 3000. In cooling mode it's supposed to draw 1kw. We tested it in the shop and measured the current. When the compressor switched on it was about 700-800w. But now when I started it at home it climbed up to 2000w over 20 minutes. I only have a Multiplus 2000. Which can deliver 1600w. Is it possible to limit the current draw? What is the real consumption of the AC? Tried to contact dometic support but they didn't respond1.2KViews0likes5CommentsRe: Does AC soft start work on any AC
About the ac I am not fixed. Still figuring out what's possible. I just used one which was around. But it won't be the one installed. My calculation was under the assumption to have it cool in the night offgrid. So about 6-7h. But less is ok also. Let's say I have a 1kw AC. The room is about 2*4m. I have 400aH 14.4v-15v. I want the temperature from outside 32c down to 26-27c. So I was assuming that the compressor is on 50-70% of the running time. That would give me 500wh to 700wh. In 7 hours about 3500wh - 4900 wh. My batteries are capable to deliver 5800wh. At least that's my rough calculation. Hope it makes sense918Views0likes0CommentsRe: Does AC soft start work on any AC
I just checked the datasheet of the multi plus. And it claims to have 4kw peak. So you might be right that the bottle neck might be the battery. But this still leaves me withe three options soft starter, inverter booster or an additional battery420Views0likes0CommentsRe: Does AC soft start work on any AC
I'm using a Chinese build one. The battery is called blue carbon. But with 14.4v and 100a it should be 1400w each. So I really think it's the compressor pulling too much on the start. The soft starter claims to reduce starting amps by up to 70%305Views0likes0CommentsRe: Does AC soft start work on any AC
Honestly I'm not 100? sure if it was 800w it's already a while ago and I didn't need it since. But it was definitely way below the 2kw. My friend told me that the AC could draw up to 3 times the running current when starting the compressor. But yes the battery was charged and the cable is 35sqmm. And about 40cm long305Views0likes0CommentsDoes AC soft start work on any AC
Hi I have a 2kw victron energy multiplus inverter. When I tried to start a 800w AC in my van the inverted stopped because it took too much current. A friend recommended me now a soft starter to reduce the start current. To my understanding a soft starter reduces voltage when the compressor startsto reduce current until the compressor runs smoothly. Now I wonder if any AC is capable to start on a reduced voltage? Especially as mine isn't a dedicated RV AC.4.7KViews0likes25Comments
