Engineering: My refrigerator seems to draw more power when we get groceries. I know we leave the door open, but it’s surprising to me how much more power it uses on those days.
Narrative: I had a long talk with a friend today and it occurred to me that maybe I could blog about my backup system for my refrigerator.
We don’t have to fear our food may spoil during a power outage. For a number of years our fridge is plugged into a special outlet that is powered from a Uninterruptable Power Supply (UPS) with fairly large battery bank in the garage. It remains running when the power fails for more than seven hours unattended. (No need to run extension cords or flipping switches.) It is about 12 yrs old and has a standard compressor in it.
More Tomorrow…
