How to calculate a refrigerators running or surge wattage for a generator?
The data card on my GE refrigerator reads 115v/60 hz/11.6 amps. If I multiply 120x11.6=1392. Is this 1392 the running watts or max surge wattage to start the motor?
Ideally you would use a clamp on meter to measure actual operating current and use the peak hold function to determine startup current.
I've measured several devices in my home and have the numbers posted on my generator page.
