The peak factor of any waveform is defined as the ratio of the peak value of the wave to the rms value of the wave.

PEAK FACTOR (CREST FACTOR)

The peak factor of any waveform is defined as the ratio of the peak value of the wave to the rms value of the wave.

Peak factor = 

For sinusoidal waveform,

Peak factor =

= √2 = 1.414
