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.
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)
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.
115 is the RMS voltage. The actual voltage is a sine wave from -167 to +167 relative to ground. RMS stands for root-mean-square, and it a way of saying that 155 Volts of DC would do the same work on the same sized load. There can be up to 3 phases, and they are the sine wave, shifted by a part of the curve. In most houses, there are 2 phases, and the voltage to ground for each is 110 to 120 V RMS. The voltage between the 2 is 230-240VRMS. 3 phase gets very complex. Each phase is 115 to ground or neutral. 3 PHASE 115V AC EACH PHASE IS 120 DEGRES PHASE SHIFTED THE EFFECTIVE VALUE IS .639 X 115 THE PEAK VALUE OF PHASE IS 1.41X RMS VALUE.
The voltage gain (Av) of a transistor amplifier can be calculated using the formula ( Av = \frac{V_{out}}{V_{in}} ). In this case, the output voltage is 5 V rms and the input voltage is 250 mV rms (which is 0.25 V). Therefore, the voltage gain is ( Av = \frac{5}{0.25} = 20 ). This means the amplifier has a voltage gain of 20.
When the peak voltage is 311, the RMS voltage is 220. (311 * square root (2))
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.
The effective voltage of an electrical circuit is the measure of the average voltage over a complete cycle of alternating current. It is also known as the root mean square (RMS) voltage.
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
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.
For a sinusoidal waveorm, RMS (effective, heating) value = 2/pi x (peak voltage). It's not 2/pi for waveforms with other shapes. 2/pi = roughly 63.7%
If voltage is given as RMS voltage (which it normally is), simply multiply the number of volts by the RMS current (as number of amps), and then divide by one thousand. Power (in kW)=Voltage (RMS volts) * Current (RMS amps) / 1000 (watts/kW)
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)
When people talk about 480V systems, they mean 480 is the RMS voltage.
Yes, if it is set to measure AC, it is usually calibrated to RMS.
The "effective" value of an alternating voltage is generally considered to be the RMS (Root-Mean-Square) value. The best way to measure that is with a True RMS voltmeter. Lacking that, if the voltage is sinusoidal, you can use an older style peak measuring voltmeter that estimates RMS value by dividing internally by the square root of 2. Any other shaped waveform will be measured incorrectly, depending on the amount of deviation from sinusoidal. (Square wave is the best example of error in this case - RMS and peak should be the same, but they won't read the same except on a True RMS voltmeter.)
A: Peak voltage is RMS multiplied by a factor of 1.41
