What is peak to peak voltage?

Answer 1

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.

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.

Answer 2

Are you asking what is meant by a 'peak voltage' in the context of voltage measurement in an alternating-current system? Or are you asking about voltage 'spikes'?

If the former, then a 'peak voltage' is the amplitude of an AC voltage waveform. As AC voltages are normally expressed in root-mean-square (rms) values, the amplitude (in the case of a sinusoidal voltage) is found by multiplying the rms value by 1.414. For example, a 120 V voltage has an amplitude of 170 V, and a 230 V voltage has an amplitude of 325 V

If the latter, then 'voltage spikes' are near-instantaneous increases in voltage impressed on normal voltage levels, due to line disturbances such as lightning strikes, switching, etc.

Answer 3

As your electrical outlet's nominal voltage is a root-mean-square (rms) value where, for a sinusoidalwaveform, is 0.707 x Vpeak, you will need to manipulate this equation, to find Vpeak, and double the result for Vpeak-to-peak.

Answer 4

In an ac cycle the voltage builds up to a peak voltage before the voltage decays and builds up to a negative peak.

The peak-to-peak voltage is double the peak voltage, and the rms voltage is the peak voltage divided by sqrt(2).
