Quick answer: a refrigerated container does not have one fixed electricity-use figure. The reliable calculation is average electrical demand (kW) × operating hours = energy used (kWh). Consumption changes with the refrigeration model, set temperature, ambient temperature, product load, airflow, door openings and machinery condition. Standard marine reefers commonly use an external 380–460V three-phase, 50/60Hz
