I have a 3.9 cubic feet Refrigerator that pulls 115v/60hz. the dorms limits to 1.1 amps. will this be ok?
it is a haier refrigerator for a dorm room... the dorm limits refrigerators to pull no more than 1.1 amps. I just need to make sure that this will fit the requirements or if i will need to get a smaller one. thanks!
I couldn't find any refrigerator current data on line. Usually, there is a nameplate on the Fridge. Go to a store and physically look inside the fridge and on the back to find the nameplate. We couldn't find the nameplates on a few, very strange, I was sure that the nameplate is required for UL approval. We looked at a micro fridge that listed the "inrush" or worst case starting current as 6.5A. Others seem to list average operating current, like mine.
The 1.1Amp is extremely tough. There are some $60 coolers that may make it, but they only cool 20deg F cooler than the room. Check with students at your school to see who has what, and how the school checks. Here's the Energy Star website. Fridges of about 250kW-hr probably make it, but you still need to verify: http://www.energystar.gov/index.cfm?fuseaction=refrig.search_products_submit
We just bought a Sears Kenmore 9.5 cubic ft unit that is 321 kW-hr estimated, or $29 per year. It has a nameplate current of 1.5Amps. While it is larger than your micro fridge, it is more efficient, thus, probably uses a little less power. In fact, it uses less power than any of the regular freon operated micro fridges I found. However, the energy tag on it claims there are micro fridges that use considerably less power, so you do have hope. UF allows up to 12 cubic ft and 3.5A, so we are golden.
You can get a KILL-A-WATT meter from NewEgg for $20 that will accurately measure current; you could take that to the store and measure it. Don't know if the school would accept that though. Good luck!
