I don't know about voltage, but in maths it is the hypotenuse of a right-angled triangle! Regards, Neil Helsby Original Message dated 18/12/2003, 15:50:17 Author: "Brian O'Connell" Re: : Good People What is the basis of this formula for working voltage ? sqroot(a^2 + b^2) thanks, Brian

Square root formula (was no subject)

That is the formula for the geometric sum of 2 RMS quantities. For example, if you have a primary circuit that has a working voltage of 230Vrms and a secondary circuit with a working voltage of 32Vdc, the RMS working voltage BETWEEN the two circuits is determined with the formula, giving you 232
