Fridge/Freezer protector
The fridge/freezer protector protects a fridge and/or freezer's
compressor from damages which may occur due to power
interruptions. When the power is interrupted and switches back
on, this unit has a time delay before switching power back on to the
fridge and/or freezer. The left-and socket's power is switched on first
and after another small time delay the right-hand socket's power is
switched on. Normally when power is switched back on by a utility
company a lot of devices switches on simultaneously which may cause
voltage spikes and/or unstable power for that instant. This unit
prevents that from reaching and damaging appliances by means of the
time delay. Another thing that can damage the compressor motor is if
there is a quick interruption which does not gives enough time for the
coolant gas at the high pressure side of the compressor to dissipate
into the evaporator. When power is now switched back on, the compressor
needs to restart at full load and this may burn out the compressor. The
time delay of this unit also prevents this since the time delay is long
enough to enable the high pressure gas to dissipate into the
evaporator. This unit may also be used with other low power appliances.
