I have seen current draw claims, particularly in marine electronic
devices such as autopilots and refrigeration systems that are based on
duty cycle assumptions. For example a 4 amp draw with a 75% duty cycle
becomes a 3 amp. (average) draw if measured over an hour or some
protracted length of time. Also in the case of refrigeration I think
that the start-up current will always be higher that the run current.

Rocket, did you see that? A Therapist!
