Hello,

I'm new here because I'm looking/asking already a long time if somebody knows the approximate electric power consumption of a 20ft ISO reefer container.
I must confess that the technical part of reefers is not my strongest point. I know how they work, but that's it.

So it would be a great help if here's a technician or user who can help me out.

I'm interested in the following:
Outside air temperature is: +30 degrees Celsius/+86 degrees Fahrenheit
What will be the approximate electrical power consumption for chilling on +5 degrees Celsius/ 41 degrees Fahrenheit??

Outside temperature is: +30 degrees Celsius/86 degrees Fahrenheit
What will be the approximate electrical power consumption for freezing let's say -22 degrees Celsius/ -7,6degrees Fahrenheit??

Is it true to fuse the reefer with a 25Amp fuse?

I really hope that there's somebody here who can help me.

Thank's very much in advance,

Wouter

also the CB trips at 29 amps so i believe that a 30 amp 460V 3 phase connection is required. Most facilities here use the 30 amp service.
