Hi John thanks for the response

If your explanation is correct, and I don’t believe it to be accurate, a person would be required to guess the maximum current draw on a house circuit, or even a simple power bar. I’ve never heard of manufacture of any electronic device, or any electrical device for that matter, giving an average rating as apposed to the maximum rate for current draw.
But because I’m not an electrical engineer I called a couple of electronic shops here in the region and all tree indicated it’s the maximum draw rating. Maybe their all wrong.
I would be interested in learning what your background is as it pertains to electronics in general.
It’s just a hobby for me.
