RMS Watts is in the same silly season class as Sears and some others "Peak

Nothing wrong with rating peak horsepower in the sense of power for a
brief
period. Kind of like ICAS rating vs CCS rating.
Whether they do it accurately or not is another issue. I have no idea and
don't much care.

The problem is that there is no spec included on what the "brief period"
is. Running a compressor motor for an hour is not brief and the true rated
HP is much less. It is a fraud on the buyers.
Using your analogy it doesnt even meet IVS.
