    have you tried to use those clamp meters, eg like Kyoritsu http://www.kew-ltd.co.jp/en/products/clampmeters/index.html to tong one of the live or neutral (but not both together) wires to find out what is the actual current when on standby mode?

    cos i believe the clamp meter is calibrated in RMS values, which is the actual heating effect, multiply the current by 230V and you shd get the correct power consumed by any device.

    also, side track a bit, i read the starmex series of condenser units have this (switch) settings for HDB flats with and without current limitations. max operating current is 8.5A for MXY-3A28VA (system 3 with up to 14.6kW) for limited current applications and 12.65A for unlimited current applications...

    now, we all know that the higher the current, the more energy the aircon consumes, so to save power, can installers simply configure the condenser to run at lower current and save power bills?

    Not all clamp meters are RMS(Root Mean Square). Check the meter they should state if they are RMS.

    Chrome plating will come out over time. Staineless steel has a chromuim contain in it to resist rusting. Generally if you are purchasing stainless steel product for your bathroom try to get 304 grade stainless steel which has high corossion resistance. Welmi uses a 301 grade stainless steel which has similar corossion properties as 304 grade but is less resistant to chloride.
