The name plate, which is a metal plate on the back of the appliance with a lot of technical information on it, may tell you straight up what size the circuit needs to be. If it doesn't it will most certainly give you the wattage of the freezer. For single phase systems such as in a home, take that number, divide by the voltage, which gives you amps, and choose the next size larger breaker and corresponding wire size.
