The average voltage is the rms voltage.
Volts peak = volts RMS times 1.414
Volts RMS = volts peak times 0.7071
Use the link below to an RMS voltage, peak voltage and peak-to-peak voltage calculator.
********************************
The average voltage is not the r.m.s. voltage.
The average voltage of a sine wave is 0.636 x the peak value. Conversely, peak voltage is 1.57 the mean or average.

∙ 12y agoTo convert from peak-to-peak voltage to RMS voltage for a sinusoidal waveform, divide by two times the square root of two, i.e. 2.828.
This assumes that the actual waveform is balanced around zero, i.e. that it goes equally plus and minus.

∙ 14y agoRMS is the 1/ 2*sqr (2) of the applied peak to peak voltage. Thus a ~340volt peak to peak (typical house voltage in US) is 120 VRMS.
This is true for AC waveforms. For a square wave the RMS value will be different. If you want further information on other RMS values, please ask again with the specific waveform you wish.

∙ 11y agoNormally, RMS voltage is .707 times peak voltage, as explained below.
RMS stands for "root mean square."
When discussing voltage, that is defined as the square root of the average of the square of the voltage.
The peak voltage is simply the highest value that the voltage attains.
The peak-to-peak voltage is the difference between the highest voltage and the lowest voltage.
Household power is generally AC, alternating current. It is always a sinusoidal current and voltage.
For household alternating currents, the voltages one encounters around the world are generally in the vicinity of 120 volts or 240 volts. Those numbers refer to the RMS voltage.
RMS voltage is, for a sinusoidal waveform, the peak voltage divided by the square root of two, i.e. peak times 0.707.
For household alternating currents, peak-to-peak voltage is just twice the peak voltage.

Are peak-to-peak and rms voltage measurements the same?
No, the peak-to-peak voltage is 2sqrt(2) times as much as the rms for a pure sine-wave.
What is voltage rms in relation to alternate voltage?
RMS voltage is the DC equivalent of your AC waveform. Vrms=(Vpeak)/(root two) If your peak voltage is 170V then the RMS voltage would be approx. 120 V (see related link)
What is the rms value for 300mv peak to peak?
Its 0.7 times peak-0 voltage, 106 mv RMS.
What is difference between amplitude and peak value?
It is the highest value of the amplitude, called the peak value. Scroll down to related links and look at "RMS voltage, peak voltage and peak-to-peak voltage". Look at the figure in the middle below the headline "RMS voltage, peak voltage and peak-to-peak voltage".
Use of RMS?
I am not certain what is being asked here. RMS is Root Mean Square which is basically the DC voltage which would produce the same amount of heat in a heating element as the AC voltage in question. Since AC is continuously changing in polarity and voltage, it is handy to use the RMS voltage rather than the peak (169.7V for 120V RMS) or peak-to-peak (339.4V for 120V RMS). The peak or peak-to-peak voltage is handy to know when considering the maximum values such as in rectification.
What is an RMS output?
That is an electric AC or audio output, where the voltage is measured in volts rms. Scroll down to related links and look for "dB conversion (decibel)". Look there in the middle at this headline: "RMS voltage, peak voltage and peak-to-peak voltage".
What is peak to peak voltage?
Conversions of RMS voltage, peak voltage and peak-to-peak voltage. That are the used voltages. The expression "average" voltage is used for RMS voltage.Scroll down to related links and seach for "RMS voltage, peak voltage and peak-to-peak voltage".Answer'Average' is not the same as 'root mean square'. As the average value of a sinusoidal voltage is zero, you cannot convert it to a peak-to-peak value.
What is the peak voltage of a sine wave that measure 220V AC rms?
Peak voltage will be 1.414 times the RMS. Peak to Peak voltage, assuming no DC offset, will be 2 x 1.414 x the RMS value.
Are peak-to-peak and rms voltage measurements the same?
No, the peak-to-peak voltage is 2sqrt(2) times as much as the rms for a pure sine-wave.
What is a peak load voltage out of a bridge rectifier for a secondary voltage of 15 Vrms?
A: Peak voltage is RMS multiplied by a factor of 1.41
What is voltage rms in relation to alternate voltage?
RMS voltage is the DC equivalent of your AC waveform. Vrms=(Vpeak)/(root two) If your peak voltage is 170V then the RMS voltage would be approx. 120 V (see related link)
What is 10000 rms?
rms stands for root mean squared. rms voltage is a way of measuring a sort of average alterating current voltage as distinguished from peak-to-peak voltage. Likewise for ac rms current.
What is the rms value for 300mv peak to peak?
Its 0.7 times peak-0 voltage, 106 mv RMS.
What is difference between amplitude and peak value?
It is the highest value of the amplitude, called the peak value. Scroll down to related links and look at "RMS voltage, peak voltage and peak-to-peak voltage". Look at the figure in the middle below the headline "RMS voltage, peak voltage and peak-to-peak voltage".

What is average voltage?
Another name for average voltage is the RMS (Root Mean Square). This is a voltage derived from the peak to peak voltage multiplied by .707. If the peak to peak voltage is 170 volts then the average voltage (RMS) would be 170 x .707 = 120 volts.
Is 480 rms or peak voltage?
When people talk about 480V systems, they mean 480 is the RMS voltage.
