Do you mean that it's rated highest, or that you've measured the consumption as the highest? Perhaps it has a high rating for initial inrush currents.

Usually 3-4 kilowatts demand for continuous operation. Depends on sizing obviously.

Dunno if they even have measurable inrush demand from the mains as they have capacitors and can't turn on when they fail.
