What Does VRMS Stand For?

VRMS stands for Volts Root MeanSquare

VRMS, or Volts Root Mean Square, is a statistical measure used to calculate the effective voltage of an alternating current (AC) signal. It represents the equivalent direct current (DC) value that would produce the same power dissipation in a resistive load. VRMS is crucial in electrical engineering and power analysis, as it allows for more accurate assessments of voltage levels in AC circuits compared to peak or average voltage measurements.
