Definition of Peak Voltage with sine wave offset

[Dale Gregg]

Quick question, concerning a sine wave, is peak voltage just half the peak to peak or is it the peak voltage above zero?

i.e, if the sine wave had a negative offset and only a third of it was above zero, would it be the amplitude above zero or half the p-p?

Regards,

Dale

Hi, thanks, I saw these on google too but they don't describe if the sine wave is offset.

The sine wave from my inverter I'm simulating is offset toward negative and my calculations seem off. I was wondering if they were incorrect because of the offset below zero. My peak to peak is 65V but only 22.5V is above zero, would this have an effect?
