Power/PSU Question

In the specs for the Prusa XL5, I see:

POWERPSU240W, custom made by Delta with Power Panic HW

Average power draw on stand-by 80W

power draw while heating up before calibration550W

Average power draw while printing235W

Is the average power draw that close to the PSU rating?  How is the power draw almost double what the rating for the PSU?
