There is such a thing as "RMS power", but it's not useful for anything, so don't use the term. No one measures the RMS of the power waveform. What they do is measure the RMS of a voltage waveform, and then use that to derive the averagepower. The correct term is "average power", not "RMS power". You could measure the RMS of the power waveform instead of the average, but your measurement would be 1.2 times too high.

What is RMS watt?

RMS watts is not a real measurement. The correct measurement is "average power", which is measured in "watts". It is dervied from RMS voltage, but that doesn't make it "RMS watts". "RMS watts" would be 22% higher than the correct "average watts".

1000 watts rms consume how many kw?

"Watts RMS" is better represented as "Watts average". Since 1000 watts is 1kw you have "1000 watts average" and you can derive "1Kw average". So 1000 watts RMS will consume 1 Kw

2000 watts RMS is equivalent to 2000 watts. RMS (Root Mean Square) is a method used to measure the power of an electrical signal.


How do you convert to watts to pmpo?

The only way to convert watts to PMPO is when you are using watts RMS. With this, the equation is 1 watt RMS is equal to 100 PMPO. PMPO stands for peak music power output.
