My Engel is a 1992 model bought new. It draws 3.1 A on start up when the fridge is not cold. Normal operating current measured with a number of different ammeters hovers between 2.8 and 3.0 amps depending on the voltage. If under charge at 14+ VDC it is around 2.8 A. When the battery is around 12.7 V not charged and under load, the Engel draws 3.0 A

Below is a screenshot of the Engel Service Manual for the model I own. It shows that it has an inverter that converts 12 VDC to 19 VAC (Also a power supply transformer that reduces 240 VAC accordingly.) As an added piece of info it also gives the material type re insulation and internal cabinet.

I managed to source the Service Manual and full parts breakdown manual, when I was replacing the switch a couple of years ago. Thanks to the Engel rep in Murray Bridge S.A. for that assist. They both have a helluva lot more detail/info than the operation manual we get with the fridge.
