How do you determine Peak current in Sine Wave
How do you determine Peak current in Sine Wave
(OP)
I always heard that you multiply 2.2 by the RMS value but how is this derived?

Or in otherwords, 2.8284 times the RMS current value.

Like the others said in normal condition the peak of the sinusoidal current is equal the rms current * sqrt (2).
The peak sinusoidal current only depends on the X/R ratio when short circuit happens. During short circuit the first few cycle will have a DC component, which will add to the sinusoidal current. This current is called asymmetrical short circuit current. The peak and the duration of the asymmetry depend on the X/R (Inductive reactance /Resistance) ratio of the AC circuit.
