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.

    Agree that a good quality extension lead of generous CSA and modest length should be fine. However a long or thin lead could indeed be problematic for the reasons already given of starting current.

    For similar reasons, operation of freezers from small generators or inverters can be problematic. My freezer is connected to the UPS, but it is a 2,500 VA UPS for a load of a few hundred watts.
