Average Voltage Calculator

Easily calculate average voltage for AC, half-wave, and full-wave rectifiers. Use our online average voltage calculator with formulas, tables, and examples.

average voltage calculator

Averaging voltage. Find the average value of a signal over a time interval/one full cycle: Vavg = (1/T) ∫ V(t) dt. In the case of sinuoidal AC, full-wave rectified average = 0.637 Vpeak, and half-wave rectified average = 0.318 Vpeak.

Formula & Table Summary:

  • General: Vavg = (1/T) ∫0→T V(t) dt
  • Half-wave rectified: Vavg = Vpeak/π ≈ 0.318 × Vpeak
  • Full-wave rectified: Vavg = 2Vpeak/π ≈ 0.637 × Vpeak
  • From RMS (sinusoidal): Vavg = 0.9 × VRMS

Calculator of Average Voltage - Rapid Electrical. The average voltage calculator assists you in arriving at the mean of a voltage signal per cycle or a period of time. It is widely applied in AC circuits and rectifiers as well as signal analysis to find the effective DC value of an alternating current. It takes a few button presses to calculate the average voltage and makes the circuit behavior more understandable by entering waveform type, peak or RMS values, and time period. Mean voltage is necessary in power electronics, battery charging, and motor control. In the case of sinusoidal waveforms, it is computed by taking the integration over a cycle, whereas in the case of rectified signals, the process is simplified by formulas. This calculator reduces time in that the equations are automated into a simplified result, hence proper design and testing results are obtained.

Frequently Asked Questions - Average Voltage Calculator:

What is average voltage?

It is the mean value of voltage across a given time period or cycle.

How to calculate average voltage of a sinusoidal wave?

Use Vavg = (1/T) ∫ V(t) dt or simplified rectifier formulas.

What is average voltage in a half-wave rectifier?

Vavg = 0.318 × Vpeak.

What is average voltage in a full-wave rectifier?

Vavg = 0.637 × Vpeak.

Is average voltage same as RMS voltage?

No, average is mean value, RMS represents effective heating value.

How to convert RMS to average voltage?

For sine wave, Vavg ≈ 0.9 × VRMS.

When is average voltage used?

In rectifiers, DC supplies, motor control, battery charging.

Can average voltage be zero?

Yes, for pure AC sine without rectification average over a cycle is zero.

Does waveform shape affect Vavg?

Yes, square, triangular, and sinusoidal waves all give different Vavg values.

Why use average voltage calculator?

To quickly compute DC equivalent values of AC or rectified signals without manual integration.
