The victron determined at the rate of draw i would be out of power in 48 hours.
Dometic refrigerator amp draw.
I installed 200ah of lithium batteries and installed the victron bmv 712 power monitor works great we are on our first dry camping trip i found the refer is using 2 amps hr of power while on lp gas.
You need a dedicated 15 20 amp circuit as the starting amperage is significantly more.
Having taken it all into consideration our final conclusion is that the running refrigerator draws around 3 amps on average.
This is our first time using the system and had the impression we would be able to power the fridge.
This depends on the outside temperature of course.
Dividing the number of watts by the number of volts will give you the number of amps your refrigerator consumes.
The power drawn by most refrigerators is usually between 500 and 700 watts.
We ve noticed that when our arb fridge is on it draws 4 5 amps for about 10 15 minutes.
The average power draw of a compressor fridge is anywhere between 1 and 5 amps per hour.
There will be exceptions depending on the size of the fridge how old your fridge is and the model and type.
The dometic portable 12v fridges that were closest in size to the alpicool ones still beat alpicool in average power consumption even at hotter temperatures.
Well that s the on an average story of how much amps the rv refrigerator draws.
Then it shuts down for maybe 45 minutes.
As far as size compared to the power used the dometic 40w 40 quart portable 12v fridge is by far the most efficient.
Refrigerator amps mean the amount of electrical energy used by a refrigerator compressor to cool down the compartment.
Watt and amp draw of a dometic fridge and freezer in 2017 ai.
How many amps does a refrigerator compressor draw.
We have a 2018 reflection 303rls it came with the dometic 12 cubic ft.
We are getting between 200 and 300 watts off the solar during the day but it doesn t seem to be keeping up with the only power draw in the van.
But the surprising thing was that they didn t beat them by much.
At 110 volts a 750 watt refrigerator needs about 6 8 amps for it to function.
Also the fridge could be operated on electricity supply 120 v or dc battery or even.
We are boondocking with a 400 watt solar system and a 400 amp hour lithium ion battery.
When defrosting the amps drawn by the rv fridge will be around 1 20 2 amps.
For most domestic fridges the amperage ranges between 3 and 5 in the case of 120 v.
