Average draw applies each sourced duty cycle; energy is average draw × quantity × daily hours × scenario days.

Questions from the same calculation

How much power do you need for an apartment outage?
2,312 Wh of delivered energy over 1 day, drawing 281 W if every device runs at once. Refrigerator (full-size) alone is 65% of that energy, so it is the load worth measuring first — the rest of the manifest barely moves the answer.
What decides whether a station can start this setup?
Refrigerator (full-size). Its sourced 1,200 W startup demand, arriving while the other devices keep running, sets a worst-case moment of 1,301 W — well above the 281 W running total. A station sized only to the running figure will carry this plan right up until that device restarts.
Why is every load on this plan running through the inverter?
None of the devices in this manifest has a manufacturer-supported DC input, so each one pays the DC-to-AC conversion cost. Where a device does offer a native 12 V cord — camping fridges especially — using it is the cheapest runtime you can buy.
