A lot of bad info above... the 9 amps is times 12V not 120 so it's only 108W, not more than 1000W.
Ivylog, I'm sorry, but you are totally incorrect. I measured the 9 amps with my AC amp meter, while clamped around the AC power cord of the refer. The AC power cord is fed with AC power produced by the inverter. That is what an inverter does, it creates AC power. My calculation is:
Amps X Volts = 9 X 120 = 1080 watts.
If you were to check the DC amps from the DC battery at the input of the inverter, it would be 90 amps (plus losses)
