Re: Question for those who have installed a residential refrigerator Reply #27 – June 22, 2021, 10:57:04 pm That Xantrex it the one I was looking at....was just curious if people were using something to switch or running inverter only. Looks like we have some of both. Thanks everyone for your input. Quote Selected
Re: Question for those who have installed a residential refrigerator Reply #28 – June 23, 2021, 10:16:45 am I don't know if the way I set mine up is a good way or bad way.... Please reply if it's not a good way.I just wired mine up to a new Victron 1200va pure sine converter with a remote switch. I use the inverter remote switch as my turn on fridge via the inverter turning on. Mine is always pulling from the battery bank. When I plug in to shore power I reason my bigger inverter/ charger ( Victron multiplus 3000 ) will keep my batteries charged. When I drive the alternator will charge the battery bank also. I have not used this setup long to see if it's a good way or not. Quote Selected
