Freezer-Extension Lead Exclusion-Guarantee.

Zoomup
A customer of mine has said that the guarantee for his tall freezer is invalidated if the appliance is supplied through an extension lead.


Why is that?


How can an extension lead cause freezer damage? The appliance was running well supplied by an extension lead when I saw it.

    There is also a problem of supply impedance - an extension lead may be
    50m long in H05VV-F 1.25mm²  That may give compressor starting problems.

    The average load for is fridge is low, but the inrush us not (this page suggests 14:1 average to starting surge for a fridge ).
