RMS Voltage Calculator

Convert peak voltage to RMS and average values.

RMS voltage (V) 229.81
Average voltage (V) 206.9

Formula: V_rms = V_peak ÷ √2

Step-by-step with your numbers:
1. Values used:
2. Peak voltage = 325 V
3.
4. RMS voltage = 229.81V
5. Average voltage = 206.9V
Did we solve your problem today?

RMS voltage is the effective DC-equivalent value of an AC sine wave.

The math behind it

For a sine wave, V_rms = V_peak ÷ √2 ≈ 0.707·V_peak; the rectified average is 2V_peak/π.

Worked example

325 V peak → 230 V RMS (European mains).

FAQ

Why use RMS?

It gives the same heating effect as an equivalent DC voltage.
