Can I reduce the start current of a fridge compressor?
I have a similar situation, off grid PV / battery storage system with a 1Kva 12-volt inverter and I run a small 230-volt standard fridge. It used to knock out my TV &amp; Satellite at start-up and hit the battery bank voltage quite hard. I connected a VDR (voltage dependant resistor) in series with the live feed. This just takes the sting out of the start-up inrush current and overcame the problem for me
