The mean load voltage, in other words the average voltage, is zero in an ac system.
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.
Ripple factor (γ) may be defined as the ratio of the root mean square (rms) valueof the ripple voltage to the absolute value of the dc component of the output ...
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.
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.
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)
A: Peak voltage is RMS multiplied by a factor of 1.41
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.
When people talk about 480V systems, they mean 480 is the RMS voltage.
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.
It is defined as the ratio of RMS value of output voltage to the average value of the out put 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.
The voltage across a load in a circuit with alternating current is typically measured using a voltmeter. The voltmeter is connected in parallel to the load, allowing it to measure the effective voltage or RMS voltage across the load. This value represents the average voltage of the alternating current waveform.
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
The root mean square (RMS) voltage is a measure of the effective voltage of an alternating current. It is calculated by taking the square root of the average of the squares of the voltage values over a given period of time. This value represents the equivalent direct current voltage that would produce the same amount of power in a resistive load.
