i was looking at some circuit designs and i noticed that some of them contained components whose voltage ratings were more in line with the Peak voltage.
*so my question is.. Are the voltage ratings on a component (Capacitors, Resistors, Diodes, Etc) listed as the Peak Voltage for AC circuits?
*and if i am using a DC circuit, do i just use the highest voltage amount?
*if i am using an AC to DC circuit through a bridge rectifier, how do i choose the right voltage for that?
i know that Transformers are listed as RMS, and that Meters Measure RMS
