Power Rating Conversion Formulas

Power can be expressed in terms of RMS, Peak or Peak-to-Peak. It is important because each is calculated differently, the following are conversion formulas:


RMS = Peak X 0.707 or Peak-to-Peak X 0.3535
Peak = RMS X 1.414 or Peak-to-Peak X 0.5
Peak-to-Peak = RMS X 2.828 or Peak X 2.0
