ac on off

I have a 2002 Sportage at my surprise the AC was going on and off
continuously. I had the AC on for about 1/2 hours at 3000rpm 120km, the
power drain from the on and off was very strong and I could hear the relay
switch under the dash board going on and off. Strangely enough I can say it
is not permanent.
I would like to know if this has happened to any one or any suggestions.
Thanks

The A/C compressor on my disco cuts in and out too, it's controled by a
thermostat in the cooilng matrix to stop ice from forming so it's as
designed.
