1. Form Factor and Peak Factor For B.Tech Students Presented by: P ROSHAN College Name

2. Introduction Alternating Current (AC) changes magnitude and direction with time. We use RMS, Average, and Peak values to analyze AC. Two important ratios: Form Factor and Peak Factor.

3. What is Form Factor? Form Factor = Ratio of RMS value to Average value of an AC waveform. Formula: Form Factor = Irms / Iavg Indicates waveform shape compared to DC.

4. Form Factor for Sine Wave Irms = 0.707 × Im Iavg = 0.637 × Im Form Factor = 0.707 / 0.637 = 1.11

5. Significance of Form Factor Helps identify waveform distortion. Used in designing AC measuring instruments. Different waveforms have different form factors (e.g., square, triangular).

6. What is Peak (Crest) Factor? Peak Factor = Ratio of maximum value to RMS value. Formula: Peak Factor = Imax / Irms Indicates how high the waveform peaks.

7. Peak Factor for Sine Wave Irms = 0.707 × Im Peak Factor = Im / 0.707 Im = 1.414

8. Significance of Peak Factor Helps determine insulation levels for electrical equipment. Important in waveform analysis and safety.

9. Comparison Table Parameter Formula Sine Wave Value Meaning Form Factor Irms / Iavg 1.11 Shape of waveform Peak Factor Imax / Irms 1.414 Height of peak
