Testing The Renogy 1000 Watt Inverter: Is it Enough Power for Preppers?

My inverter has a wattmeter on the inverter it’s handy

Curious if this inverter will power your home refrigerator. My home fridge label says it pulls 6 amps (6X120=720W). I know there is a high start up but with the remaining capacity (1000w-720w=280w) plus the claimed 2000w surge, I think it would handle running the fridge.

Yeah it will, but only for a little over an hour though with this 100ah battery.

You sure your fridge draws that much power? Mine is like 120w. Huge fridge.

⁠That's great, and yeah. I tested it in this video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rZa6cnuKnt6XZpIsi=-VFTTMLtynjq2Age

I can use that cooker on a 1500 watt inverter ?

Never, ever buy a high frequency, transformerless inverter like this one if your serious about survival. Cheap, lightweight, high frequency inverters off a far shorter life expectancy than low frequency, transformer based inverters and high frequency inverter offer a far poorer surge capacity to start and run inductive loads.

Could you provide any examples of what you are describing that are 1000-1500 watts? I am a volunteer at my local fire department and I am looking to add one to my SUV for when i am at calls for long periods of time?

[@solarcharging9743]

Hysolis manufactures a self contained low frequency, transformer based solar generator unit with an internal battery called the MPS 3K Solar Generator. It's a 3kW unit though. What I would suggest instead is a 1.5kW 12 Volt low frequency inverter charger like something from Sigineer Power. You could wire it directly to an external LFP battery or your SUV's battery to power your emergency loads. This inverter would give you a full 4,500 watt surge capacity to start heavy inductive/motor loads and it will last far longer than one of those cheap, low surge high frequency units. @@SplexideOfficial
