The current effective value is defined as follows: "In an interval of
time equivalent to a period, an alternate current with effective value
having an intensity of 1A, by passing on a resistor, disperses the
same energy which would be dispersed in the same period of time by
a direct current having an intensity of 1A". From this definition comes
the numerical expression:
The effective value is indicated as RMS (root mean square).
The Crest Factor is defined as the ratio between the Peak Value of a
signal and its effective value:
This value varies according to the waveform of the signal, for a
purely sinusoidal wave it's worth
the Crest Factor assumes higher values as long as the wave
distortion is higher
