My induction NuWave unit draws variable wattage. When it is first turned on it draws the maximum wattage--even if set to low. Once it reaches the set point temperature it cycles quite rapidly (too fast for a kill-a-watt meter) through various wattages.
You may find that a 1500 watt inverter might not be big enough to handle the induction cooker.
sounds like these work by using a switching circuit
timing the off on cycle to maintain the power setting/heat level
you might find that the switching cycle just changes cycle time to more often , when presented with lower input power
even though it is an inductive load, it does NOT have the LRA of an A/C unit
