I'm thinking of using this for my refrigerator. If this unit blows due to a power surge, will it still pass power to the refrigerator?

Your surge protector is excellent insurance. Tempers all electrical spikes. Good luck

No. This is a surge protector, not a Uninterrupted Power Supply (UPS). You would need a UPS unit. TRIPP-LITE offers great options for those also.

No,It is as the name says "Surge Protector" & It Does a Great Job doing that!

It is a transformer, yes, and the mode of failure would most likely not result in any damage to the appliance. However should there be a large spike in the input voltage such damage must be considered as a possibility.

Yes . Operational failure resulting from a power surge while properlyconnected to a surge protector. You may be asked to provide Yoursurge protector for examination

Its a portable power source...you keep it plugged in at all times.In the event you need it,whatever is plugged into it,will receive power fro this unit,ntil it runs out of power or power it is plugged int,is restored. It would probably run a small fridge,depending on its wattage,also several small light fixtures,again depending on there power consumption.In a power outage,providing it is plugged in,it will automatically come on ,if needed.One of its best features.

It depends on the appliance. If the appliance requires a big surge current to start, then I'd say no. I doubt if you'll be able to pull a steady 150W out of this unit. Another thing to keep in mind is the wattage/amperage listed on the appliance is the maximum it is supposed to consume during operation, but the actual draw could be less.For example, I tested an electric can opener rated at 1.4A (168 watts) and it did run. But was it pulling 160W? I doubt it. At the other end of the spectrum, I plugged a lamp with a 75W incandescent bulb and it tripped the circuit breaker immediately (too much surge current). I tested a window fan rated at 0.85A (102 watts) and it did run, but sounded weak. It depends on the appliance. If the appliance requires a big surge current to start, then I'd say no.

it wouldn't start my Fridge,,the Surge time is too low..so am not using it..if that is a requirement for your system.,,this is NOT the convertor for you. look for one with a long surge time.,at least 5/7 seconds..this piece of crap is 1second...total waste of money. the guy with the video praising this, must have a hugh battery bank..to off set this problem.

Hi Kathy,I think that would depend on the size of the refrigerator. If it's a small hotel or mini-bar like critter, then sure. However, a full-size fridge would be too much for it. My guess is it would eventually overheat the housing of the cable and cause a fire. Better to get one with a heavy duty rating at Home Depot or other outlet like that, or better yet, just plug your fridge into the wall using it's own cord. If you can't get the thing close enough to the outlet to do that, the heavy-duty cord is your next best option. You'll sleep better at night. ;)

Keith, I have installed this 24Plus, and I am very excited about it! It will cause a surge when the unit kicks on, yet it is very short lived, as are most surges. I would assume that you don't trip the power breaker when you use it, and there is nothing to fear if it is set up according to code. It just draws a lot of electricity when it runs! But it makes the best water!

the only thing i can tell you is my own experence.,i had it hooked up to 1200watts of solar with 1000amps from 10, 100amp 12volt battery bank.,and it wouldnt start my house refridge..it has 2/3 seconds of surge power.,the house refridge need 10-15 seconds of surge power.,if you dont need surge power,,its ok i guess.,,im not useing it..it doesnt work for me.ill give you a deal if you want to buy mine half price.

Im not certain about refrigerator temps, but it does not "charge." It gets it's power from power over Ethernet, you're gonna need an outlet to keep an eye on your dead bodies.

I have run a regular full sized stand up vacuum cleaner for several minutes with mine. There was no power surge or let up. Hope this helps.

According to the specs it goes as high as 1800 watts or (15 amps) (1800/120 = 15). The unit should be fine on just about anything a house hold appliance can take. Refridgerator/freezer/TV, you should have not problem. Typically an outlet will only offer a total of 15 amps before the breaker will trip, so this unit is fine for you.

I have it plugged directly into the wall now, the power has gone out a few times and no data has been lost. I am thinking about getting a surge protector with a battery backup just in case.

I imagine that you could plug a refrigerator into this, but it doesn't seem like a great idea. I'd guess that something with that much power should be plugged into its own outlet.

I have never noticed any fan noise coming from the unit. I believe the unit will power a refrigerator depending on the size of the refrigerator, W hen I had a question about my unit i just telephoned the company and talked to a technician.

It's a pretty heavy duty cord. I wouldn't see a problem with plugging a refrigerator up to it.

Yes, that's true. If you plug it into a surge protector it will not work properly, if at all.
