[QUOTE="hispls, post: 8841056, member: 614752"] RMS and PEAK in the context of any of this stuff is all marketing ********. RMS is only the statistical method to figure out an average amplitude (distance from zero). Someone come along and show me one household appliance that says "165V peak" or "120V RMS" on it. Of course you can't because the RMS is implied and is the number you get when you plug in your voltmeter because that is the DC voltage that you would get if you built a rectifier to turn the AC signal with 165V + and - peaks into a DC power supply to do some sort of work for you.
