and so it IS
but the upper~lower limit of a 120v wave form is 170 spread not 336v spread
by your math one half of the wave form is 120v
there fore a 230v circuit would be over 672 peak to peak
by my math and understanding its the whole sine wave
60v each side of the direction change is RMS and the peak on each side of the direction change 85+ give or take depending on load factors
if I'm wrong point me to the right electrical info page with the correct info
What if the voltage were 240 VAC RMS?
In my interpertation:
The Peak voltage would be 240 VAC RMS x 1.414 = 340 Volts Peak
The Peak to Peak would be 240 VAC RMS x 2.828 = 680 Volts Peak to Peak
