Peak Factor

Definition: Peak Factor is characterized as the proportion of greatest incentive to the R.M.S estimation of a substituting amount. The substituting amounts can be voltage or current. The greatest worth is the pinnacle esteem or the peak esteem or the plentifulness of the voltage or current. 

The root mean square worth is the measure of warmth delivered by the exchanging current will be same when the immediate gracefully of current is gone through a similar obstruction in a similar given time. 

Scientifically it is communicated as: 

Where, 

Im and Em are the most extreme estimation of the current and the voltage separately, and Ir.m.s and Er.m.s are the roots mean square estimation of the substituting current and the voltage individually. 

For the current shifting sinusoidally, the pinnacle factor is given as: 

                                                  The estimation of Peak Factor is 1.4142
