To calculate the size of the inverter needed, multiply the device's operating voltage (115V) by its current draw (3.0A) to get the power consumption in watts (115V * 3.0A = 345W). To be safe and accommodate any power surges, choose an inverter with a continuous power output of at least 400-500 watts.
To calculate the amp draw of a device you need to use one of the following three formula. I = W/E, I = E/R, I =√W/R. Once the amperage of the circuit is found then the size of the breaker can be established.
The amp hours capacity of a battery remains the same whether it is connected to a 12-volt DC load or a 120-volt AC inverter. So, the battery would still have 100 amp hours regardless of the inverter voltage.
One would assume the chainsaw requires 120 volts or more if you want to run it with an inverter. If your chainsaw uses 16 amps at 120 volts then your wattage is Volts (120) x Amps (16) and that would be 1920 watts. So you will require a much larger inverter to run your chainsaw.
Yes, a 400-watt power inverter can operate a 5.3-amp power tool, as long as the tool's voltage matches the inverter's output. To determine if it's feasible, multiply the amperage by the voltage (typically 120V in the U.S.), which gives a power requirement of about 636 watts (5.3A x 120V). Since 636 watts exceeds the inverter's capacity, it may not operate the tool efficiently or could overload the inverter.

160 amps is more than ample to run a 100 amp inverter.. what you need to look at is the required input amperage of the inverter and compare that to what's present in the circuit it's wired/plugged into. In most cases, you should be able to run up to a 400 amp inverter plugged into a 12v outlet, but again, you need to make sure.
It depends on the inverter. Keep in mind that the average starting current of a motor is four times its running current, so the inverter would need to be able to handle a 54 Amp transient. (Or higher, depending on design margins.)
depends on your load...
A 50 amp breaker is an overcurent device.

The maximum amp rating for a device designed to handle a 10-2 amp rating is 10 amps.

No, an amp (amplifier) is not a speaker. An amp is a device that increases the power of an audio signal, while a speaker is a device that converts electrical signals into sound waves.
