The watts or amperage should be stated on the nameplate of the fridge. If you are trying to find the size of a wire needed to connect the fridge to the electrical system an amperage needs to be calculated. If the watts of the fridge are known use this formula to find Amps = Watts/Voltage. Once the fridge's amperage is known, a correct wire size can be chosen and the proper fusing to protect the wiring put in place.

It depends on the specific model and size of the fridge, but typically a 12-volt caravan fridge can range from 40 to 100 watts when operating. It's important to check the fridge's specifications to know the exact power consumption.
There are normally at least 115 watts per fridge.
To convert watts to kilowatts, divide by 1000. In this case, the fridge uses 0.065 kilowatts (65 watts / 1000).
A mini fridge typically uses around 3-5 watts in standby mode. However, this can vary depending on the specific model and its energy efficiency.
A medium refrigerator typically consumes around 100-250 watts when running. This can vary depending on the size, age, and energy efficiency of the refrigerator. It's important to check the appliance label for the specific wattage of your refrigerator.
To calculate the amperage used by a 60-watt fridge, you would divide the power (in watts) by the voltage of the outlet it’s plugged into. For example, if the fridge is plugged into a 120-volt outlet, the amperage would be 0.5 amps (60 watts / 120 volts = 0.5 amps).
