Hi all,

As mentioned in the title:

Can a Su-Kam 1400 Pure Sine Wave Inverter with 2x200AH Tubular Batteries run a Normal 2 door (310 Litre) LG refrigerator for approx 3 hrs.

Nothing else would be connected to it.

======================================================

Also, for the RIG in my siggy, I know the above mentioned inverter would be fine. But for my RIG - will the Su-Kam 800 VA inverter with 1x180AH Tubular battery be sufficient for 4-5 hrs?

======================================================

Thanks a lot.
 
i have a 800 va + 160 ah battery which runs a e6600 with a crt monitor for 2 hours ... :( is that normal or do i get anything checked
 
Check the fridge wattage. it should be in the range 200 to 300W. This suggest that the inverter can handle it.

The problem is when the compressor starts the power consumption can climb to more than 5 times or more for fraction of a second. The slight "lights dimming effect". So it remains doubtful...
 
Yeah .. I am worried about that slight light diming thing only ... if the lights dim .. no probs ... and i will be using it only for the refrigerator .. nothing else ... so was hoping nothing happens .. that is the Inverter doesnt trip ...

The Rated wattage of the fridge is 188 watts ... so 188x5 < 1000 and the 1400 VA inverter should be able to handle i guess then. :)
 
Fridges consume more power while running compressors. They are often rated less by the manufacturers.

Its best to buy a clamp meter to measure the current on the live wire while the compressor is running. This will definitely give u good idea on your fridge's actual power figure...
 
Su-Kam 1400 VA has switch to toggle between inverter and ups mode. Does anybody know what is the difference between two mode? Does it have anything to do with backup time?

If you got a manual with the inverter, the details should be there in it.

I have manual but it don't have any explanation about this switch. It just say it switch between inverter and UPS mode.

Then probably, in the UPS mode, the switching is fast, of the order of few milliseconds, to prevent the pc from rebooting.

yup that is right. in ups mode, the switching is done faster (as per what they say).
my router reboots in both modes. :(
