How many amps does a compressor draw?
I found your web site while searching for an answer to the following: How many amps does a average refrigerator pull? If you know would you please share this information with me. Thanks,
The compressor on a standard fridge will draw about 3.6 amps. The freezer fan which is in parallel with it draws about .7 or so. If you're using this data to calculate power consumption you must allow for a power factor of about .5 as the compressor is an inductive load. Hope this helps
