For an alternating voltage, the simple mean over a cycle would be zero. 'RMS' means 'root mean square', and is defined as the square root of the mean value of the square of the voltage, taken over a cycle. Thus whether the voltage is + or - , as it is in alternate half cycles, the value of its square is always positive, giving a real number for the square root. In fact the RMS value of voltage produces an RMS current which dissipates power at the same rate as a DC current of the same value. To find the RMS value of a sine wave with no DC offset, divide the peak value of the sine wave by square root of 2.

Since the r.m.s. value of a sine wave is 1.414Vpk, and the mean voltage of a sine wave is 1.57Vpk, then, starting with the r.m.s. value:
Vmean = (Vr.m.s. x 1.414) ÷ 1.57

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".
Is 480 rms or peak voltage?
When people talk about 480V systems, they mean 480 is the RMS voltage.
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 conversion of rms voltage to Peak to Peak voltage?
Assuming sine wave (it is different if not): Vp-p = 2.828 * Vrms
What do you mean by rms value of current and voltage?
From Wikipedia:"In mathematics, the root mean square (abbreviated RMS or rms), also known as the quadratic mean, is a statistical measure of the magnitude of a varying quantity. It is especially useful when variates are positive and negative, e.g., sinusoids."Since AC voltage is a sinusoid, the RMS voltage is one measure of the amount of voltage. It is also measured as a peak-to-peak value. Since Current = Voltage divided by Resistance, the same RMS measurement approach applies.
What is the ratio of rms load voltage to mean load voltage?
The mean load voltage, in other words the average voltage, is zero in an ac system.
Define rms reverse voltage of a diode?
A DIODE will breakdown at a certain reverse voltage if RMS VOLTAGE IS SPECIFIED THEN the actual voltage will be RMS volts times 1.41
What is RMS in electricity?
RMS stands for Root Mean Square. Power is calculated as V2/R where V is the voltage and R is the resistive component of a load, This is easy toi calculate for a DC voltage, but how to calculate it for a sinusoidal voltage? The answer is to take all the instantaneous voltages in the sine wave, square them, take the mean of the squares, then take the square root of the result. This is defined as the "heating effect voltage". For a sine wave, this is 0.707 of the peak voltage.
Root-mean-square voltage in ac?
rms voltage will give the ability to predict how much work will be done by an ac voltage. the rms value of a pure sine wave is 0.707 times it's maximum amplitude.
What is the effective voltage for 3 phase 220 VAC power?
If, by 'effective' voltage, you mean 'root-mean-square' (rms) voltage, then 220 V is already expressed in those terms.Unless otherwise stated, a.c. voltages and currents are always expressed in rms values.
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.
Conversion of RMS CURRENT to peak current?
In an AC circuit the voltage and current are n the form of a sine wave that goes between a maximum and minimum value 60 times a second. Measuring the difference between these values is a peak-to-peak measurement. Root Mean Square (RMS) computes an average (mean). To convert RMS to peak, multiply the RMS figure by 1.41. 1.41 is an approximation of the value of the square root of 2.
