Generation

# RMS Voltage and Current RMS (Root Mean Square) is the effective value of an alternating current or voltage that does the the same heating work as an equivalent DC value. For example, household 120V AC actually peaks at about 170V, but we call it 120V RMS because it delivers the same average power as 120V DC would. Mathematically, you square all the instantaneous values over one cycle, find their average (mean), then take the square root—hence "root-mean-square." For a sinusoidal AC signal, the RMS value is always the peak value divided by √2 (approximately 0.707 times the peak).
