When converting DC (Direct Current) to AC (Alternating Current), you can't directly convert the voltage like you do with DC-to-DC conversion. AC voltage is usually described in terms of its RMS (Root Mean Square) value or peak value, while DC voltage is a constant value.
If you want to express 24V DC in an AC equivalent, it depends on how you’re comparing them:
1. RMS Value:
In an AC system, the RMS value is the effective voltage that delivers the same power as a DC source. For DC, the voltage value is the same as its RMS value.
So, 24V DC would be equivalent to 24V RMS in AC.
2. Peak Value:
The peak value of an AC signal is higher than the RMS value. For a sinusoidal AC wave, the relationship between RMS and peak value is:
\[
V_{\text{peak}} = V_{\text{RMS}} \times \sqrt{2}
\]
For 24V RMS (AC equivalent of 24V DC):
\[
V_{\text{peak}} = 24V \times 1.414 \approx 33.94V
\]
So, if you want the peak value of the AC equivalent, it's about 33.94V.
