By following the guidelines below.
Choosing the right size of inverter depends on the appliances you want to operate at any given time. You should consider both the continuous (how many watts the appliance needs to operate continuously) and surge power rating (how many watts the appliance takes to start-up). You can usually find this information on the name plate of your appliance. The continuous rating of the inverter must be high enough to handle all the loads that may run at the same time (ex: the XPower 1500 has a continuous rating of 1350 watts, the 1500 watt rating is only for 5 minutes, and the surge rating is 3000 watts) . The inverter must also be capable of handling the starting surge of all loads that may start at the same time. Loads typically take many times their continuous rating to start. When taking inventory of the appliances you plan to run on your inverter, be sure to take note of the continuous watts or amps as well as the surge listed.
