:Should have stated that in this case VRMS means
:Volts-Root-Means-Square .. This is an AC sign wave from top to bottom of wave . ( Peak To Peak ) Most cap values are under rated somewhat. Don't know what the application is in your radio for this cap. But if it's rated that high, there should be a reason for it. As I recall my AC theory, To calculate the RMS value of a sine wave, you multiply the peak value by 0.707. The peak value is, of course, one half the peak-to-peak value. To go the other way, reverse the order of operations. That is, if you're starting with an RMS value, divide by 0.707 and then multiply by two to get the p-p value. Another way to convert from RMS to p-p is to multiply the RMS value by two square roots of two: RMS x 2 x SQR(2). (compliments of WikiAnswers) |
