There should be a data plate on your condenser, it will have one line that says LRA stands for Locked Rotor Amps, that should be the most it would pull on startup. You will need something capable of that value in surge capacity to be safe. Also you need enough surge to start the air handler too.
Watts = Volts x Amps
For example 220 volts at 30 amps is 6,600 watts.
Installing a hard start kit on the condenser can also help In reduce the starting amps By a good amount.
