Comments[edit]

Would I be right in thinking that in electrical engineering, the root mean square is used far more often that the average rectified value? Michael Hardy (talk) 22:32, 16 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, you are right. The root mean square (RMS) is definitely used more often in el. engineering. But in cheap measurement equipment e.g. the ARV is measured and multiplied by 1.11 to get the RMS of a sinusoidal signal. (Haaribaer (talk) 16:09, 29 July 2009 (UTC))[reply]

Regarding the figure in the article: It is working in the German wikipedia but not shown in the english one. Perhaps someone could correct the code for displaying the figure and delete this comment (I am still a beginner by dealing with figures). (Haaribaer (talk) 16:09, 29 July 2009 (UTC))[reply]

... of a quantity is the average of its absolute value and therefore equivalent to the Root mean square. --> thats not true. RMS is not ARV! What is mean with equivalent? the same as? then it is wrong. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.113.24.137 (talk) 10:12, 1 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
