Will this power a fridge and a microwave in a semi?

Yes it will. Plus a TV. We got this for my husband's father for his birthday in October, 2014 and he loves it.

It will power more than that. It is the best one I have ever used and quieter than all others.

It should power a fridge and a microwave, but some microwaves don't work well on inverters. The only way to know is to try it, but we've had good luck. We're powering a built-in microwave in a 1983 Coachmen motorhome. We also power an 8-cf electric fridge that we put in to replace the propane one when it died last year. I don't know how you're powering all of this, but if you're running it off of auxiliary batteries that charge while the semi is running you should do fine as long as you're not shut down too long and then the batteries get drained. Make sure you install it where it can get a lot of circulation because an inverter this size builds up a lot of heat. Good luck!

This unit requires 208-230v AC power. I suppose it could be mounted to a semi truck, but you would have carry around one hell of a generator to power it!

I think it would depend on the fridges amperage draw, but if intended for use with a car lighter, this should work. I use mine to run a Coleman cooler that acts as a fridge. No prob so far.

Hi there, I would like to think so because I used my 1800w vacuum cleaner and 800w microwave oven from this item.

I don't see why not. Mine is running my laptop, my x box 360 a 110V microwave and some other odds and ends with no issues. I also ran a coats tire machine on it when my shops 110V transformer went down for a few days.

Yes, if refrigerator rated at 200 VA or less. You will also need 12v to 220v inverter and batteries to support night time operation.

This unit should be powerful enough to start your fridge. This unit will run as long as the batteries provide over 12 volts under load.

Yes, absolutely . I'm a mechanic by trade , this fridge uses very low amps.

I have used it to monitor my refrigerator and it is excelent. From 05 watts to 150. I will try my microwave next but am not sure its maximum. Hope it can handle 1500 watts to test my heaters.

No... I dont think it has enough current to support the power of a microwave

It was advertised to perform the ability of running a home refrigerator. I have not tried it. However, it ran my AC, small fridge, outlets, and a small flat screen TV in our camper trailer while traveling. Do I think it will take care of your needs? yes!

Possibly. I have used mine to run a small portable car refrigerator cooler for a short time and it worked fine. R. Skiba

Yes but you should run refrigerator on a timer to keep it from going into defrost mode witch can pull as much as 1000 watts for 2 hours

Yes it will power, it's a great unit , also look at the inputs on unit, should be able to connect to virtually anything

If the voltage is 115 and the current is 0.8 the power would be 115 Volts * 0.8 Amps = 92 Watts (Max, I left power factor = 1). The EL2601 can supply up to 400 Watts of power. Your fridge is using 23% of the 400 Watts. You will be fine.

Hi, this is a 1500 watt generator. You need to look at the wattage of your refrigerator and make sure. I think most refrigerators run at about 700 watts but not. If that is true then this generator would work fine. But you need to make sure. There is a plate inside or outside your refrigerator that will tell you the wattage that it uses.

I have used it for electronics like a TV where its not in constant service. If using with a motorized appliance like a refrigerator I would suggest getting one with 1/3 wattage above demand use. Like a refrigerator that is listed at 1000 Watts use hook it up to a 1500 Watts converter.
