Frequently asked questions

Divide the peak by √2. A 325 V peak is about 230 V RMS, typical of mains supply.

Root-mean-square voltage is the equivalent steady DC voltage that delivers the same power.

It is twice the peak, the full swing from the most negative to the most positive value.

The √2 factor is for sine waves. Other shapes have different peak-to-RMS ratios.

The RMS Voltage from Peak Calculator uses the formula: RMS voltage = Peak voltage ÷ √(2). For example, with peak voltage of 325 V, the rms voltage is 229.8097.
