startup load at using some devices. As per him a 3 KVA isn't neccessary. He said even a 1.4 KVA would just about make it, but higher would be better. | |

You seem to be more humble than most! You got it right first shot. The fridge cut-off works just like the AC cut-off! But, are you aware that the new generation ACs do not cut off?!  They control their capacity and rpm! Saves a lot of power! | |

So how does compressor being shut down periodically be better than some which does not! The only logical explanation to me would be it drawing increased power during it's start up routines. Do you know any ACs that have this feature? [/OT] | |

would work as long as there isn't much other load. The guy from Sukam had measured my fridge startup load & said that a 1.4 invertor would be able to take the load - though finally I went with a 800 VA from Microtek. | |

There is a lot of good design and intent that go into making a fine product. The feature we're looking at here is the ability to handle a peak load or surge. It is not the same for all inverters by a long shot! The quality of the enamelled copper wire, the stampings, the quality of relays or switchgear would all go towards enhancing this feature; all of it adding to costs. You really have to see a 'cheap' inverter to appreciate products like Sukam, Microtek, Luminous etc...  | |

It's been more than a year since I got it, but I think I paid something around that price for 800 VA invertor, Batteries (120A if I recall correctly), stand & installation. | ||

My friend runs a 190L fridge on APC 800VA inverter. It works pretty well. The only time it has issues is when you have kept the fridge off for a long time and try to start off the inverter directly. | |
