How does a thermoelectric refrigerator work?
According to Wikipedia:
"Thermoelectric cooling uses the Peltier effect to create a heat flux between the junction of two different types of materials. A Peltier cooler, heater, or thermoelectric heat pump is a solid-state active heat pump which transfers heat from one side of the device to the other side against the temperature gradient (from cold to hot), with consumption of electrical energy. Such an instrument is also called a Peltier device, Peltier diode, cooling diode, Peltier heat pump, solid state refrigerator, or thermoelectric cooler (TEC). Because heating can be achieved more easily and economically by many other methods, Peltier devices are mostly used for cooling. However, when a single device is to be used for both heating and cooling, a Peltier device may be desirable. Simply connecting it to a DC voltage will cause one side to cool, while the other side warms. The effectiveness of the pump at moving the heat away from the cold side is dependent upon the amount of current provided and how well the heat can be removed from the hot side."
A peltier cooler is not a thermopile nor a thermocouple and it does not rely on the seebeck effect.

What can a 900 watt generator power?
with a 900 Watt generator, your actually running about 800 watts and it jumps to 900 when apliances kick in. You should be able to power your refrigerator and sump pump during an emergency, depending on the power consumption of your fridge.
As a rule of thumb look at both for wattage usage and add another 10% for when they kick on and that should give you what wattage you need.
For example Lets say your running the following
Standard energy saver 18 cu.ft Refrigerator - 300 watts. runs 30% of the time
Sump Pump - 500 watts. Stays on 100% of the time. Wattage low until pump kicks in.
The maximum wattage your using is 800 watts. However when one or both apliances kick on there is an extra energy draw.
BTW a 900 Watt generator would be perfect for camping to run a few lights and small appliances.

between 265 and 540. It is 265 to 540 because if your refrigerator is No Frost then it has internally equiped heater which melts Ice and that heater consume 200W extra electric power. Hence we can say that the Direct Cool Refrigerators uses less electricity than No frost Refrigerators.

NO! You will instead make your fridge struggle back to a proper temperature when it turns back on. The compressor will be asked to work overtime and may go into thermal overload from the task at hand, rather than going on occasionally overnight to maintain the status quo. Besides, the food temperatures will rise to a point that will increase the rate of bacteria growth.
