Inverter Voltage
After refusing to pay $700 to repair or $4K to replace our Norcold refrigerator, I installed a 23 cubic foot residential one. I have checked the voltage from the inverter so I could rewire the panel for the new refrigerator to run while traveling. I got only 102 Volts at the bottom of the breaker. I read the Xantrex manual and it states that the voltage is RMS voltage and should be read with a RMS reading meter. So, I guess my WaveTec isn't right. There was no load on the inverter when I read the meter. Do these inverters work as a regulator? By that, I mean the higher the load, the higher the voltage? I don't want to burn up an new 'fridge byrunning low voltage. I know I can run the generator every few hours, but running off the inverter would be idiot and dementia proof for me. Thanks for any advice.
