I have a 1 horse 120 volt compressor rated at 10.5 amps. It's a direct drive but uses oil for what that's worth. My question is can I use an inverter if necessary to power it for a short time and if so, how big? I was thinking 2000 watts. I didn't buy a 12v compressor because we are mostly hooked up to electric but there are a couple times I have needed air and not had elec available. Thanks.
