#160543 - Pure sinus Responding to: ???'s previous message |
The formula is only valid for a pure sinus wave.
If you have a distorted sinus wave, then the quotient between top and effective voltage will not be sqrt(2) anymore. Another thing is if you are taking out any energy from your contraption. If you have a 208V sinus wave with some short spikes on, then the spikes will represent a higher voltage that will charge the capacitor to a higher voltage - even if the spikes represents quite little energy. |
