I have an energy monitor plug on my big freezer. It draws about 100w when the compressor is running. But about once a week, it draws 400w which I assume is for the auto-defroster? How do I size the inverter assuming the compressor start will require 3-7x of the running watts for surge? I assume the 400w defroster is a resistive load and doesn't require a multiplier. So would a 1000w inverter (12v) run the freezer?
Over a week, the daily draw ranges from 0.43 kW to 1.12 kW. That high day was the 400w spike day.
