Among the average value, rms-value and maximum (peak) value, there exists a definite relationship. This relationship is expressed by two factors. They are 1) form factor 2) peak factor.

FORM FACTOR AND PEAK FACTOR

Among the average value, rms-value and maximum (peak) value, there exists a definite relationship. This relationship is expressed by two factors. They are 1) form factor 2) peak factor.

(i) Form factor (Kf): It is the ratio of rms value to average value. Mathematically,

Form factor Kf = RMS value / Average value

(ii) Peak factor (ka): It is the ratio of peak or maximum value to r.m.s value. Mathematically

Peak factor Ka = Peak value / RMS value

Peak factor is also known as amplitude factor or crest factor.

Importance of form factor and peak factor

These factors give an indication of the shape of waveform. The more pointed the peak of the wave higher are the values of these factors. In other words, if the Kf and Ka are of higher values, then the peak of the wave is more pointed.
