Hi all
Let's say we have a 200A(p-p) sinusoidal AC current. After reaching the peak for the first time, it is cut off at 80A. As the wave hasn't reach its half period, so I am now wondering whether cutting off can affect some properties of AC current. That is to say, firstly, does it still have an RMS value at 200/root2 as a normal consistent AC current? Can the 200A be measured by a current meter? Will it be considered as a changing DC current since it has always been positive? Will the magnetic field be totally different from that excited by a normal consistent AC current?
Thank you for your attention and help.
Kind regards
