Definitions for "Crest Factor"
Keywords:  rms, peak, waveform, sine, amplitude
The Ratio of the peak value divided by the r.m.s. value. With a true Sine Wave the Crest Factor is equal to the square root of 2 or 1.414
In an AC circuit, Crest Factor is the mathematical ratio of the peak to RMS values of a waveform. Crest factor is sometimes used for describing the current stress in AC mains supply wires, since for a given amount of power transferred, the RMS value, and hence the losses, become greater with increasing peak values. Crest Factor gives essentially the same information as Power Factor, and is being replaced by Power Factor in power supply technology.
The ratio of the Peak value to the RMS value of the waveform.
