Sizing summary

The 60-Gallon 3.7 HP Stationary Shop Air Compressor draws 3,400 W while running and 7,800 W at start-up — a surge ratio of 2.3×, typical of induction motors and compressors, which makes inverter surge rating the deciding factor. In North America it is a 240 V load, so only split-phase-capable units qualify: 18 otherwise-capable 120 V units are excluded on voltage alone.

11 of 30 sources pass every check in North America and 16 of 35 pass in 230 V markets. The leanest fully compatible choice is the Oukitel BP5000 Pro Max , while the EG4 18kPV Hybrid Inverter + PowerPro 14.3kWh WallMount delivers the longest runtime (9.0 hrs at 40% duty) .
