How much normal running current is required by a 4 star refrigerator claiming to consume 399 units per year?

That is a believable claim. 399 units per year or 1.09 units per day is an average power of 0.045 units per hour, equal to 45 watts. In practice the refrigerator pump probably take about 5 times as much when it's running but the thermostat keeps it turned off most of the time.
My ordinary kitchen refrigerator has used 1.3 units in 3½ days, an average of 15 watts.

What you consume in home current or voltage?
Power is contituted by both current and voltage So we consume both current and voltage
Why kitchen light becomes dimmer when a toaster is turned on?
The toaster consumes a lot of current (or electricity) since it is a heating equipment. All electrical heating equipments consume lot of current. So naturally, there is a deficiency in the limited supply of current to the other devices (like light, fans, refrigerator etc) So the light goes dim.
Why do the bulbs dim when the refrigerator turns on?
The refrigerator has a motor load within it. When the refrigerator starts it draws a high current. This high starting current draws the voltage down until the refrigerator's motor (compressor) gets up to speed. A refrigerator is an appliance that should be on a dedicated circuit. This means that no other electrical devices should be connected to the refrigerators circuit. If the lights are dimming, then the refrigerator is on the same circuit as the lights.
Why does my refrigerator keep tripping the breaker?
The most likely possibility is the refrigerator has a problem and needs to be fixed. Another possibility is the refrigerator is on a circuit that does not have enough current capacity to operate it and other appliances that are on the same circuit.
How is an electromagnet different from a refrigerator magnet?
A refrigerator magnet is magnetic because it is a "permanent" magnet. An electromagnet is a magnetic field caused by a current flowing through a wire.
Which current can be described as the current required to have the device ready to perform its task?
Quiescent current

How much current does a 23 watt bulb consume?
To answer this question a voltage must be given.
Up to how many paths can an electric current follow?
There is no limit. If you have a TV, a light and a refrigerator, electric current can go through all three.
What is the average amp of a GE refrigerator?
Look at its nameplate. Divide its power rating by its voltage rating -this will tell you how much current flows when the refrigerator is running on its cooling cycle.
When does the electric current flow?
An electric current will flow if there is a voltage, and a conducting path (usually a closed circuit is required).An electric current will flow if there is a voltage, and a conducting path (usually a closed circuit is required).An electric current will flow if there is a voltage, and a conducting path (usually a closed circuit is required).An electric current will flow if there is a voltage, and a conducting path (usually a closed circuit is required).
What is short circuit ratio?
Ratio of field current required to produce rated voltage in open circuit to the field current required to produce rated current in short circuit.
