    I agree with Stan but you may be experiencing a "brownout" with lowered voltage in. In this case, if watts are the same, the amperage draw will go up. I would guess these are 240V or higher.

    Any number of causes. One such cause is a momentary power glitch and no anti-short cycling timer.

    No random delays on start up.

    And LOTS of other things.
