Over the past few months I realized that there is no such thing as an "easy
question" on this group and I say that with a smile.....




> 115 Volts is the RMS (root mean squared) value of the sine wave. The
actual peak
> value for a pure sine wave is the product of the square root of two times
the RMS
> value (i.e. 1.414 x 115V = 163V). The correct voltage to use to calculate
> resistive power is 115V.
