Signal Voltage Converter
Convert RMS, peak, peak-to-peak, crest factor, and average rectified voltage for common waveform types including sine, square, triangle, and custom crest factor signals.
Input Parameters
Results
Equations Used
For a sine wave: Vpeak = Vrms × √2, Vpp = 2 × Vpeak
For a square wave: Vpeak = Vrms, Vpp = 2 × Vpeak
For a triangle wave: Vpeak = Vrms × √3
Crest Factor = Vpeak / Vrms
Average rectified sine voltage ≈ 0.637 × Vpeak; square ≈ Vpeak; triangle ≈ 0.5 × Vpeak.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: What is RMS voltage?
RMS voltage is the equivalent DC voltage that would produce the same heating power in a resistive load.
Q2: How do I convert sine wave RMS to peak?
Multiply RMS voltage by √2.
Q3: How do I convert peak voltage to peak-to-peak?
For a symmetrical waveform, Vpp equals 2 × Vpeak.
Q4: What is crest factor?
Crest factor is peak amplitude divided by RMS amplitude.
Q5: Why does waveform type matter?
RMS-to-peak conversion depends on waveform shape. Sine, square, and triangle waves have different crest factors.
Q6: Can this tool handle arbitrary waveforms?
Use custom crest factor for approximate conversion, but arbitrary waveforms require measurement or waveform integration.
