Blog #22 - More on Sinusoidal Current and Voltage
/The r.m.s. value of an a.c. supply is equal to the direct current which would dissipate energy at the same rate in a given resistor.
We can use the same logic to define the rms value of the voltage of an alternating voltage supply:
Vrms = the peak voltage divided by the square root of 2 where V is the maximum (or peak) value of the voltage.
The RMS value of an a.c. supply is equal to the direct current which would dissipate energy at the same rate in a given resistor
We can use the same logic to define the RMS value of the voltage of an alternating voltage supply.
Where V is the maximum (or peak) value of the voltage and I is the maximum (or peak) value of the current. So we have a way of calculating the RMS values of both current and voltage from their respective peak values.
For sinusoidal current & voltage…
Pavg = Irms x Vrms
Vrms = Irms x R So we can now express a current and a voltage in terms of a single value (RMS)…and for circuits with resistive loads only all of the rules for mesh analysis and theorems can be used…

This blog is part of my “Electrical Technical Information” series! In this series, I will be covering essential topics to help you understand electrical system. Be sure and stay tuned, as I will also, from time to time, be reviewing electrical products, that in my opinion are worthy of paying attention to. This address…https://bit.ly/3UGjBIg will give you access to the supplier of aforementioned products.
It is also the connection to obtain a free, copy of my 24 page “Three Phase Transformer Workbook” which will serve as a quick reference and reminder of technical calculations you may need.
One of those amazing and versatile products is the EcoFlow Delta Pro Ultra.
