So I know for a fact I have seen the calculation on how to convert power consumption for a fridge on the forum before but for the life of me I cannot find it and have been searching for some time.
I have been running a test using my old Norcold fridge in an attempt to how much solar I need and give me an estimate on how much power it consumes. I am currently at the following numbers:
Norcold MRFT-630
100% empty
40 degree's in garage
knob turned to 1.5
16 hours
123.4 VAC
0.10 kW used
I was able to calculate out that it should burn 12 amps to run it for 24 hours on the 123.4 VAC.
How do I know what the 12 VDC consumption is now?
I am going to order a meter so I can test the fridge inside and off a battery next.
