EFFECTIVE HOW ABOUT AVERAGE .639 of peak.

Answer

The 'effective' value of an a.c. voltage (or current) is the same as its 'root-mean-square' (r.m.s.) voltage which, for a sinusoidal waveform, is 0.707 Umax.

The 'average' value of an a.c. voltage (or current) is zero over a complete cycle, or 0.639 Umax, over half a cycle (usually applied to rectified waveforms).

What equation is used to calculate the dc output voltage for a given ac input voltage to a step-down transformer?

so far i knew, the transformers are used to seprate dc component from ac component of supply fed into primary winding of coil. still if dc output value of ac input has to be calculated then it is v2*2/sqrt(pi) where v2 is peak ac output voltage and is equal to v1*n2/n1 pi is a constant numerically equal to 3.14 thus the dc value is average value of output ac voltage -------------------sachin_the_rex@aol.in------------------------------


What is rms value in ac system?

The r.m.s. value of an alternating current or voltage is the value of direct current or voltage which produces the same heating effect.


Volts peak is equals to dc volts?

"Voltage peak" is generally used to denote the maximum(amplitude) of AC voltage supply. It can not be approximated as dc value. The closest approximation one can make for dc value of a ac supply is the RMS(root mean square) value of the voltage. So that the ohmic loss caused by the given AC voltage supply is equivalent to that caused by a dc supply having value equal to the RMS of this AC supply (for given impedance & time).


What is effective voltage?

It is the 'as if' voltage in an AC circuit. Referred to as Vrms 120 volts in your house is Vrms, the effective voltage, 'as if' it were DC 120V, can do the same work. But 120VACrms is a sine wave with a peak voltage much higher than 120 volts.


Convert ac voltage rms to dc voltage?

The dc voltage of a rectified ac voltage will be the peak value of the ac voltage less the forward voltage drop of the diode.The rms voltage of a sinusoidal ac voltage is sqrt(peak) / 2, but you also have to consider if the ac voltage is balanced around zero.For a normal US house voltage of 117VAC, the peak voltage is about 165V, or 330V peak to peak. Your dc voltage is then around 164V.Run that rectified voltage through a capacitor, and you will still have 164V peak value, but the voltage over time will dip because the capacitor will discharge during diode off time, and recharge when it turns back on.AnswerA given value of a.c. rms voltage is exactly equivalent to the corresponding value of d.c. voltage. For example, 120 V (rms) is exactly equivalent to 120 V d.c. This is why the alternative name for 'rms voltage' is 'effective voltage'. This is based on the fact that a current of, say, 10 A (rms) will do exactly the same amount of work as a d.c. current of 10 A. And, of course, voltage and current are proportional.

Can you connect an AC source in series to DC source - then what happens to the current under a steady state condition?

With an AC and a DC voltage source in series, the DC voltage can be added to the RMS value of the AC voltage to give the effective voltage.


What is the amplitude middle and effective values of 220 V AC?

The amplitude (or peak value) of a 220 V AC voltage is approximately 311 V, calculated using the formula ( V_{peak} = V_{rms} \times \sqrt{2} ). The middle value, or average value, of a pure sine wave AC voltage is ( V_{average} = \frac{V_{peak}}{\pi} ), which is about 99.73 V. The effective (or root mean square) value is given as 220 V, which represents the equivalent DC value that would deliver the same power to a load.

Is tranformer used to increase or decrease AC voltage?

The function of any transformer is to change one AC voltage value to another AC voltage value. A step down transformer will transform a higher AC voltage to a lower AC voltage. A step up transformer will transform a lower AC voltage to a higher AC voltage. The transmission of electrical power uses both of these types of transformers. From the generation station the voltage is stepped up to a very high transmission voltage and at the end of the transmission line it is stepped down to a voltage that consumers can utilize.
