Maybe some of the Product Safety folks could correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the nameplate must be as high or higher than any actual operating condition. If this is the case, then I would say that the conservative approach would be to use the nameplate rating. I have always used the term "rated" as "rated by the manufacturer". With respect, Brent DeWitt

What is meant by "rated" power? Is this the power level that is actually measured during the test or the rating as shown on the product's data plate? Jim Hulbert Pitney Bowes
