Reefer Power

Refrigerated containers require specific power sources and cabling to operate, typically 380 VAC or 440 VAC, 3 Phase power. Some dual-power containers can operate on either higher voltages or lower 180 VAC or 220 VAC power. Power consumption varies depending on container size and temperature settings but is usually between 5.8-11 kW. Refrigerated containers use four-pin plugs rather than the five-pin plugs used for some land equipment. The document recommends 230V or 460V plug types and residual current protection if powering multiple containers from a single source.

Refrigerated Containers Power Requirements

Refrigerated containers can be used for static storage purposes provided the correct
power and correct cabling is available. Standard specification reefers require
380 VAC, 3 Phase, 50Hz or 440 VAC, 3 Phase, 60 Hz. Some units have dual power
systems and can operate with 180 VAC, 3 Phase, 50 Hz or 220 VAC, 3 Phase,
60 Hz. Dual power containers are equipped with two supply leads enabling the reefer
to work on either system. Power consumption is in the range 5.8 kW – 11 kW
dependent upon container size, ambient temperature, temperature settings, stowage
plans etc. Normal reefer plugs, as fitted to sea going containers, have four pins and
not five pins as is common with some land based equipment. The plug receptacles
needed are as follows:

230 Volts - Mipco 30 AMP, 250 VAC, 60 Hz, 3P, 4W model 3034FRS or similar.
460 Volts - Mipco 32 AMP, 380/440 VAC, 50/60 Hz, 3P, 4W CEE 17 3h model
3334FRS or similar.

If a single power supply has to power multiple units, a custom-built distribution board
will be required. We recommend each socket be fitted with Residual Current Device
protection and under volt release. Cargostore can design and supply distribution
boards and/or plugs and sockets according to clients’ requirements.
