A 1,000 watt inverter will at best produce 8.3 amps, 1,000 watts divided by 120 volts = 8.33 amps.
The circuit will support 15 amps per the circuit breaker and the 14 gauge wire going to the outlets. What type of "AC selector switch" are you talking about?

I appreciate the concern. I understand that with 1000W the current will not be 15A given the voltage output. The circuit is rated higher because it needs to acomodate the converter output and match residential parameters of current and volatge (and thus power) but I will not need all that power when running on batteries. I want the three plugs to be isolated from the converter when I use the inverter to supply power. I am looking at a AC selector switch along the lines of :
