Chuck, the rating on the product should be the max steady state
current. The NEC requires the plug to be rated 125% of the max
continuous current, which depending on the product can be significantly
less. You can put both ratings on your product if you want.
Where are 'max steady state current' and 'max continuous current'
defined? How can these terms be applied to an audio amplifier, for
example, where the current is dependent on the input signal *so there is
no 'steady state')?
