Hi all, bought a Xantec "X Power" 1750W inverter. Measured the voltage
and
got 103.5 (no load). Thinking there was something wrong, I exchanged it
for another. The voltage on the new one is 104.9, when I loaded it the
volts went up to 109.7 (within the +/-5% noted in the manual). Is this
normal? Don't want to burn out our fridge.
Also as a note I tried to run a full size fridge (25+) years old. It
pegged the meter, on the inverter starting and ran at 2 'bars',
but did start and ran the fridge (its a spare we don't use). Tried it
on the one we use (4+) years old and the meter went about 1/3 up when
starting then didn't light up even one 'bar' when running. Big
advancement on efficiency in 20 years eh?
