Default Re: Full wave rectified RMS voltage

Thank you I think things are a bit clearer for me now.
So if I understand correctly my True RMS meter is only measuring the AC part of the waveform.

terrykc, the 0.63 value is the average, DC, value of the rectified output.
It is true that I haven't taken into consideration the accuracy of my instruments, and measurements to 10mV accuracy is indeed a bit daft, I admit.

So how would you measure the RMS voltage of the output that is un-smoothed?
