How do I choose the right inverter size?

Here is our last bit of advice on how to select the correct inverter size: Check our inverter size chart. List all your appliances in the function of their power output. Apply our inverter size formula. Do not exceed 85% of your inverter’s maximum power continuously. Oversize your inverter for extra appliances in the future.

How many watts can a refrigerator inverter handle?

Inverters of this size and type can consistently supply 1500 Watts of smooth AC power and can handle up to 3000 Watts for a brief moment if needed. However, depending on factors like the size, age, and power usage of your refrigerator, you might find a larger inverter necessary, or a smaller one might do the trick.

How much power does an inverter need?

The continuous power requirement is actually 2250 but when sizing an inverter, you have to plan for the start up so the inverter can handle it. Third, you need to decide how long you want to run 2250 watts. Let’s say you would like to power these items for an eight-hour period.

Which inverter is best for a fridge?

Assuming the running wattage of this fridge is less than 500W (which is surely the case), an inverter such as the BESTEK 500W Power Inverter would be a perfect match. It’s rated at 500 Watts and has a 1000W peak power capacity, and it’s a Pure Sine Wave inverter.

How much power does a refrigerator inverter use?

For the inverter to reliably run the refrigerator and these additional appliances, it must have a Surge Power rating greater than 1590 Watts: Potential Surge Wattage (Watts) = 1440 Watts (refrigerator) + 40 Watts (lights) + 60 Watts (laptop charger) + 50 Watts (TV)

What type of Inverter should I Choose?

Before we go any further, we highly recommend that you choose a pure sine wave inverter. This type of inverter delivers high-quality electricity, similar to your utility company. This way, none of your appliances run the risk of being damaged.
