So we should just buy efficient inverter refrigerator, rather than add 48VDC.


At the end of the day, they’re going to (possibly transform the voltage), rectify and AC input into DC and chop it up to get variable-frequency drive.

I kinda wonder how low or high voltage it could run on out-of-the-box but there might be other stuff that runs off straight 120V (e.g. defrost cycle).
